Is Rick Santorum trying to wound Romney enough so he won't win the general?

The kind of stuff he is doing to Romney is beyond anything I have ever seen a Republican do to another Republican. I really think he is only staying in to bolster his run in 2016 which can't happen if Romney wins. If so this is........AWESOME!

He's just concentrating on his marketability on the speaking tour when the GOP loses in a landslide.

the:

"See, you would have WON if you'd have chosen ME"

tour. It seems right up his alley. Gingrich too. In fact Gingrich is so full of himself he might actually use that title. Frothy Santorum might just do the:

"I could have beaten the ni--- erm, I mean the the blah person." tour*.

*That's in reference to Frothy Santorum's slip of the tongue in Janesville a couple days ago.

It just seems like he is trying to take Romney down in the General because he can't possibly think he can win the nomination this time around. Just a gut feeling though.

Very effective ad, not only for destroying your opponent, but poisoning his chances in the general election.

Never mind that the whole ad is filled with falsehoods.
