Santorum suggests Romney rigged CPAC vote

When CNN's "State of the Union" host Candy Crowley said she was surprised Santorum didn't do better with party conservatives, he shot back: "Well, you know, those straw polls at CPAC... for years Ron Paul has won those because he trucks in a lot of people, pays for their tickets, and they come in and vote and they leave. We didn't do that, we don't do that. i don't try to rig straw polls."

Did Romney rig CPAC?

"You have to talk to the Romney campaign and how many tickets they bought, we've heard all sorts of things," Santorum said.

"We didn't pay them to turn out," he added, speaking of his supporters at CPAC, Missouri and elsewhere.

This guy is dangerous. Newt is a rotten prick but in the end will arrive at rationality. Willard is a pandering pussy and in the end will be easily bent to rationality. Santorum though, this guy is driven by religious zeal. He is the epitome of what our founding fathers were trying to protect against when they wrote the constitution and insisted on a separation between church and state. The reason is that NO, yes NO religion is wrong to those that believe and EACH religion is uncompromising as only THEY know the TRUTH. Why would anyone believe in a religion that is truthful only part of the time. So, Santorum's radical ideas are easily explained by his uncompromising religious beliefs. His religion will not allow him to engage in birth control for example even though it is proven to prevent unwanted pregnancies and certain health problems such a cancer in women. I could site more examples but all you need to do is listen to this guy and you should be rightfully scared to death to give him any authority over political decisions. People like him will get us into a serious war very quickly based on his uncompromising beliefs.

This bunch of candidates are so tiresome. Is it any surprise their primary road show is burdened with boredom and bereft of inspiration?

Car on the road as long as possible. The longer that race is undecided that more fodder there will be for the campaign. They shoot themselves in the foot all the time, and are criticizing each other more than the Democrats. That's all good.
