Santorum: Establishment Republicans are in a ‘panic’

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/santorum-establishment-republicans-panic-191029975.html

WEST BEND, Wisc. -- As more conservative leaders within the Republican Party show public support for Mitt Romney--most recently Rep. Paul Ryan and tea party favorites Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint--Rick Santorum insisted that the endorsements were a sign that the party establishment was in a "panic."

"I think from what you see, there seems to be a panic among the Republican establishment of everybody sort of coming out of the woodwork to say the things they're saying today," Santorum told reporters here Sunday. "It makes me feel like we're actually doing pretty well here in Wisconsin."....Santorum responded, saying it was clear that he was making Republicans "nervous."

2. As Colbert said, Santorum will do well in Wisconsin as he's just like a wheel of Colby cheese. . .

For them to try to make the election a "referendum" on Obama. With Mitt Romney as their candidate. If Obama loses he is the worlds worst politicion.

you know, how they stick to their principles ... suddenly, they realize that they will have to support the one with the "best chance" of beating Obama ...

Love how they're consistently solid in their principles.

But then, the "liberally-biased media" won't call them on switching their moral stand for the chance of "winning" ...
