Santorum is still in the running. Wins CO, MO, MN.

I’m glad to see that Rick Santorum won Colorado, Missouri (non-binding, no delegates), and Minnesota.

I think that in the general election, Romney has a better chance of beating Obama.  But, in terms of conservative credentials, I admire Santorum more.   I think Santorum can win the general, but it will be more of a squeaker.   Elections can still be beauty contests, and Romney’s physical looks will just win over more people.  Santorum still has somewhat of a high-school nerdy look to him.   I wish he had begun more of a physical makeover  before the primary campaign.

If I understand the candidates’  history, Santorum is closer to being a Reagan conservative than Romney.  Romney is too much a get-along/go-along kind of guy.

My way of judging who the better candidate is, is not by what they say, but  by what they’ve done, their track record.  A candidate can say whatever they want.  They have professionals come up with the words and speeches, and those words may or may not have any bearing to the history and intentions of the speaker.  But to better judge a man, look at what he’s done.  Acta non verba.
