Santorum’s Strategy

Published



This morning, Rick Santorum sent out a fundraising letter that suggests he’s going to cast himself as the Republican presidential candidate who can beat Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.

“It’s Now or Never for Conservative voters,” Santorum wrote.  “We can either unite now behind one candidate and have a conservative standard bearer in 2012, or have the GOP establishment choose another moderate Republican who will have a difficult time defeating Barack Obama in November. I don’t think that’s what you want. Neither do I. My name is Rick Santorum, and I am the only authentic, passionate conservative who can unite the GOP.”
