Carneal br> Yorktown, Virginia /p> p> Mr. Hillyer has a good thought but it smacks of being a "hail Mary" pass. Perhaps a reassessment of Mitt Romney is in order, or does he not have proper conservative credentials either. Let's say that he does and that he has had the misfortune of starting his race competing in primaries that allowed cross-over voting and had lots of Independents which worked against him. He did alright anyway. Then a showdown in Florida against McCain stacked him against a large vote that favored McCain's immigration stance that may have given McCain the 5 point win. Most pundits predict McCain will now sweep the Super Primary February 5. But in these next primaries, there will be many states whose conservative voters will favor Romney's stance on immigration in numbers great enough to make the difference. Romney may not win more delegates than McCain but he may win more than pundits think. Then it will be a race and maybe a brokered convention.

Quin Hillyer, you are spot on!

I'm a Pennsylvanian and was proud and pleased to have as my two Senators two of the most respected and effective of the lot -- Santorum and Specter -- and was very disappointed to see Santorum defeated by a nostalgic name.

For months, I have been thinking about how good it would have been for Rick Santorum to run for president, but hesitated to say it out loud. Thank you for articulating the argument for him so well.

He's personable, articulate, highly intelligent, trustworthy, and a Conservative.
