Inkwolf: I have friends and relatives who are voting for Santorum, apparently for religious reasons. They are like sheep to the slaughter because they just don't understand his whole agenda, and don't even spend much time reading politics. It's really scary!

The Repubs always held up Marco Rubio as one of their "best" hopes, but he was one of the sponsors of the "Rubio-Blunt" amendment that was going to withhold healthcare from women - the very bill that started this whole thing when Sandra Fluke testified before Congress.

ETA: And they thought the Gov of Virginia was a good choice for VP until he introduced the "Vaginal Probe" bill which started the "War on Women" meme and caused near riots in that state. So he is damaged goods now, but once he was their "best and brightest."

Jeb Bush is too smart to get dragged into the fray this time, but also no one really wants another Bush to run, so I don't know if he will try in four years. Chris Christie from New Jersey is touted as a big deal, but I'm not sure how he would win the south and west. Gosh, if Newt is around in four years, he will probably run again. Ron Paul will run in a wheelchair if he has to - he's never going away. And if Santorum doesn't get the nomination this time, he is young enough to just boomerang back into it in four years. Plus Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann (((((shudder)))))

Jeb Bush is the most likely SURPRISE! candidate, as not too much time will have to be spent explaining who the hell he is....

GOP voter: WhoWhat Bush?
GOP: A Bush--who cares, as long as it's not a GIRL.
GOP Voter: GIRLS SIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *pulls lever*

Rubio needs to be explained with something like actual information, so he's not an obvious GOP candidate....and the more incredibly shallow have dismissed Christie because he's overweight.
