But Romney's so-called "electability" is an ill-disguised myth. He can't attack Obama on the Democrats' biggest Achilles' Heel: Obamacare. His Wall Street background, as we have seen in recent days, is ripe for an attack from the populist angle, whether it's warranted or not. And, as Rick Santorum pointed out this evening, "moderate" GOP establishment candidates have a horrible track record in presidential elections.
Drawing an implicit contrast with Mitt Romney on the eve of the first-in-the-nation primary, Rick Santorum [reminded the crowd of] a centrist, establishment candidate... the 2008 Republican nominee, [and] the people of this small New Hampshire town bordering Maine wanted none of it.
“Let’s put up Bob Dole, because it’s his turn,” Santorum said ironically of the 1996 GOP nominee. “Let’s put up John McCain, because it’s his turn.”
Some in the crowd started booing, while others cried out “No!”
...“Give us an opportunity to be that conservative alternative, not just in this primary, but the conservative alternative that will draw clear contrast,” he said, “and be able to attract the votes and voters we need to win this election.”
I urge you to support a true Constitutional conservative for President.
I urge you to support Rick Santorum.

Romney will be real easy to beat by the left. They will pull out their worst class warfare tactics like "Mitt is the one percent, he is a rich Republican who has no concern for us 99 percenters" and beat that into the ground. Without someone like Sarah Palin bumping his numbers up as McCain did, he will lose in a landslide. No, my money is on Santorum at this point.
