With Rick Santorum Out, Republicans Can Now Focus on Obama

April 10, 2012 RSS Feed Print

Former Sen. Rick Santorum has fought a good fight. The decision to leave the race is the right one for himself and the GOP.

There will be now a short period when the Republicans take a breath, circle the wagons, and prepare for the fight of the general election. All polls are showing a close match-up between fomer Gov. Mitt Romney and President Obama, and that will only tighten now that the GOP primary is over. Rick Santorum now has the opportunity to consider whether his political image has been rehabilitated enough to make another run for either statewide office in Pennsylvania or national office in the future. One thing is for sure though, you will not be seeing Rick Santorum as the vice presidential nominee on the GOP ticket in 2012.

The writer or anyone else might want to deny it, but it's a three way race now. The Ron Paul Revolution for American freedom and international peace grows and grows.

The 'Tree of Liberty' is sprouting in New Hampshire.. in concert with The Free State Project there. It is thriving in the national campaign of the Ron Paul Revolution. It grows in the realm of every patriot in America and also in the cherished dreams of all mankind.

The Republican Party is welcome to have patriots a along for victory this year. And AmericansElect is a natural place for Liberty lovers who are now in the process of nominating Dr. Ron Paul for President.. an inovative online gathering of people from all Parties and all backgrounds, AmericasElect opens a new paradigm for direct democracy via the internet. All registered voters welcome to participate. And the Libertarian Party will replace one of the two majors.. within the coming decade or so.

America Will rise again, make no mistake. United We Stand.
