Although he finished last in Saturday�s Nevada caucuses, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum said Sunday he�s not quitting the race for the Republican presidential nomination anytime soon.
Asked on �Fox News Sunday� whether this Tuesday’s three-state voting is a �make or break� moment for him, Santorum replied: �Oh no. Not at all. I think we�re going to show improvement. This race is a long, long way from being over.”
Santorum has maintained that he�s the only conservative candidate to front-runner Mitt Romney who could beat President Barack Obama in a general election match up. And he predicted he�ll have a better showing during Tuesday in Minnesota, Colorado and Missouri.
�We�ve got three states coming up on Tuesday,� he said. �We�re going to show that this race is moving in a very different direction.�

???. Sen. Santorum is � or should be � the clear choice for frum voters.
he should be, but sadly usa doesn’t want a mentch as president
getzel1,
Yes, that is a problem.
He should join forces with Newt so that they will have a real chance! What good does it do anyone to be the best candidate not elected?
Santorum is a breath of fresh air in his character and beliefs that even when unpopular he holds dear to, and I hope his luck changes in Missouri and other Feb. caucuses/primaries.
As much as I, as a Torah Jew, naturally associate politically with “conservatism” especially “social” conservatism (against abortions, same-sex marriage, etc.), I always dislike how much of the leaders of the American conservative movement are hardly representatives of their ideals (the list is exhaustive). Not so with Santorum. He walks the walk. 7 kids, strong convictions, and the works…
Obviously, he is still a politician and has his faults…but a person who so represents “values” as a serious candidate is great thing for the country.

Ido,
Newt is a time bomb waiting to explode.
