God no -- he succeeded only in alienating most Americans.

No, because Ron Paul is going to come from behind to win the nomination. He's the only hope this country still has.
You wanna talk about energizing the base? Put a real man of liberty in the running.

Santorum has a minority following in a minority party. He isn't going anywhere.

Santorum can only hope to do what Romney did, which is spend four years preparing for the next race. Raising funds, developing networks, promoting allies and developing a winning organization are activites Santorum could do. Based on his demonstrated abilities in the current campaign, those goals are beyond him. As a result, he will not be the front-runer in 2016.

Rand Paul 2016

Maybe not being the republican nominee will work in favor for Ron Paul. He has support that won't leave even if he does. The establishment won't bother rigging the election if its between (bought and paid for) Mitt Romney, (bought and paid for) Barack Obama, and Gary Johnson (who lasted less then 5 min. In the republican primary... though the most sane out of the three). Come November all thoughts votes that were marginalizbe, due to election fraud, will be writing in Ron Paul's name.
2016 won't be Rick Santorum's year either to many people know that he is not conservative.

If Santorum is the frontrunner in 2016 we'll have another 8 years of Democratic president after Obama. This guy only serves to galvanize everyone except hardcore evangelicals.

What a ridiculous premise for an article. Santorum dropped out because he was all but assured of humiliation in his own PA Primary. Rand Paul will be the front-runner in 2016 after the Romney wing of the establishment GOP gets rebuked in November.
