Santorum: We’re Better Off With Obama
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news...tch-republican
Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum told a crowd of supporters in Texas Thursday that the GOP might be better off sticking with President Obama than "taking a risk" on Mitt Romney, who he referred to as the "Etch A Sketch candidate."
By NBC's Andrew Rafferty
SAN ANTONIO, TX -- Rick Santorum today suggested it would be better to stick with President Obama over a candidate that might be "the Etch A Sketch candidate of the future” -- a shot at chief rival Mitt Romney.
"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," said Santorum. "If you’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate of the future.”

Re: Santorum: We’re Better Off With Obama
Saw the article, but not that quote... What he actually said was different.
Rick Santorum has clearly and repeatedly stated that he will support the nominee.

What did he actually say, Hoovie? I get his point - at least we know exactly where Obama is taking us.

Re: Santorum: We’re Better Off With Obama
I get the point too PO.
It's not so much what he said... but he did not say "We’re Better Off With Obama" as some have reported.

I'm not seeing any confirmation that he said anything else. Can you find me something on it? I don't think he can win, but I want him and Newt to stop Romney. I can pass the information along as way of defense or deflection, which ever way you view it. lol

Only looking at this news report and comparing his words to the Drudge (and this thread) headline. No matter how it's diced, he did not say "we're better off with Obama".
The point is there is not much difference between policies like Romneycare and ObamaCare.

Re: Santorum: We’re Better Off With Obama
Santorum clarifying yesterday's comments "I would never vote for Barack Obama over any Republican and to suggest otherwise is preposterous," Santorum said, adding that he was "simply making the point that there is a huge enthusiasm gap around Mitt Romney."
I have repeatedly heard Santorum and the other candidates (Ron Paul has squirmed some on this) agree that they will support the nominee.

"You win by giving people a choice. 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 told supporters in San Antonio. "If you're going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate of the future."
"What he was talking about was that they're just so similar. You've got to have differences to motivate people to vote," Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley told Yahoo News. "If there's virtually no difference between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, chances are they won't go out and vote."
I think people get that, unless they simply just want to make something out of nothing.
