Santorum: Voters demand 'one-on-one' with Romney

[RandySF]

Rick Santorum told Fox News on Tuesday night that conservative voters want him in a “one-on-one” contest with Mitt Romney, but noted that he “can’t control” whether Newt Gingrich drops out of the race.

Santorum, who has been declared the winner in the Alabama Republican presidential primary, told Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren that he thinks voters are ready for a two-man race.

“It’s very, very clear that outside of Speaker Gingrich’s backyard, if you will, we are the candidate that is taking it to Mitt Romney,” Santorum said from Lafayette, La. “We are winning states all over the country. And I think the folks here in Alabama and Mississippi, you know, are seeing that. They want a conservative nominee. I think that’s what it is coming down to. They want a conservative nominee and the best way to get that is for us to have a one-on-one opportunity with Gov. Romney.”

1. Does Santorum think he's the Queen? Or does he have multiple personality disorder?

"We are the candidate"? Seriously?

2. Maybe he wants to be his own VP.

3. Ha!

Mike DeWine said something similar on Chris Matthews last week. He basically told Gingrich to go away.

4. Gingrich may no longer be a factor, even if he stays in.

Gingrich can only do well in the south. And the perception now is that Santorum has eclipsed him. I don't think Gingrich will affect the outcome from here on, which has got to worry Romney and the GOP establishment.

5. Dog on Car, Man on Dog, now One on One? No, thank you.

6. Demand? Isn't it, like, in their own hands? Just go to the polls and vote for either

Santorum or Romney and there's your one-on-one. Is it a republican thing to demand something
that you already have?

7. Exactly. If voters want Santorum they don't have to vote for Gingrich.

Simple enough.

8. Conservative voters are finally tired of watching the 3-way.
