Santorum: Might As Well Have Obama Over Romney

[Generic Other]

SAN ANTONIO -- Presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Thursday said Republicans should give President Barack Obama another term if Santorum isn't the GOP nominee and for a second day compared rival Mitt Romney to an Etch A Sketch toy.

Santorum reiterated an argument he has made before: The former Massachusetts governor is not conservative enough to offer voters a clear choice in the fall election and that only he can provide that contrast.

"You win by giving people a choice," Santorum said during a campaign stop in Texas. "You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who's just going to be a little different than the person in there."

Santorum added: "If they're going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk of what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate for the future."

4. He never was on it

Beyond the "bitter" primary. Rick doesn't add anything to the ticket, he is from the NE just as is Romney.

2. Santorum has never blamed himself for his own failures. You can't expect him to start now.

3. Okay, sounds exactly

like how I feel and I believe will happen in November.

5. That is one endorsement the President does not need. nt
