The longer Sick Rantorum keeps ranting, the better for our side...so let's help keep his insane clown circus tour going, from Dairyland right down to Tampa!

Maybe do a write-in if legal. Such as Abraham Lincoln.

You know the media will make a big thing of it if his total doesn't compare favorably with the total of Republican votes. In any case, Romney seems to have it sewn up and I'm fine with that. People are going to get really disgusted with him by November. Santorum, on the other hand, could get some votes from those who say they don't agree with everything he says but at least he stands by what he believes (some people actually vote that way, hard as it is to understand).

brokered convention (ie no frontrunner) they could pull someone out of the hat that's much more electable than good old Mittens - eg Mitch Daniels, Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush. Such a nominee would enjoy tons of media attention and because theyd be new and fresh, poll numbers would be high - with not enough time before November for them to go downhill.

Mitt may actually be the best choice - dont forget the evangelicals and religious rad right really dont like Mitt - in fact they tend to believe that he, being Mormon, isn't really a Christian.... and thanks to TParty trash talking everyone knows now that "Romneycare" was the template for "Obamacare."

Oh sure they'll make a show out of pretending to come together to support Mitt but then sit out the election in record numbers.

I cast a write-in vote for a box of rocks. I think my candidate is the smartest of the lot!
