Michelle Bachman, Rick Perry and Sarah Palin all have/had the potential to make George W Bush look like a good president (which he definately was not). Gingrich was one of the early architects of the financial sector meltdown (which took a couple decades of apathy by the public and many in gov't to come to fruition). Romney might not be too bad: he's someone who isn't a hardliner and may be able to build some bridges between both parties which is something desperately needed at this point, and he's also a half decent financial mind.
Santorum is a himbo (male bimbo) to me: I hate the way he always seems to be searching and stumbling for his talking points as soon as he strays from the Jesus-speak that his supporters love. Even at the NRA convention in Pittsburgh last fall, speaking to a group that should be a part of his base, he didn't impress and instead seemed to bumble around. I realize the speaking engagements and charisma are only part of the package (as Obama has shown at times) but they are an important aspect. He also doesn't want to work on Sundays, so I hope if he IS elected the rest of the world decides to pause itself for those 24 periods, regardless of their own timezones, so he doesn't have to violate the holy day...

Seriously, why would either Santorum of Romney for that matter running for President be a incentive to get out the vote, neither of them would change anything, they are to Obama like in policies. If there is to be any change, we need someone who is more a conservative than either of those two. Obama will crush them.

What are you talking about? Read the Wiki page on Santorum for his policies. He will be easily labelled "far-right".
Why the heck do you change your font in your posts btw? For some reason it changes mine when I reply to your posts and its annoying.

He is not right enough? No proper right winger would want to change any wording in our Constitution.

This guy is on the road to disaster already, no sooner does he get a boost than
he puts his foot in his mouth. From what I saw on TV to some he misspoke to
me it was a racial comment that got checked almost in time.
Imagine saying something to the effect we should not be taking money from rich
people who deserve it to give it to black people who don't deserve it. Even if it
was something other than a mistake he will be tagged with it now. In addition his
stand on gay rights is negative and his social conservative views will limit him in
the mainstream. I think he is worse than the rest of a field that is pretty bad.
