5. It's hard to tell with his breathy, preachy-drama, pious, faux-spiritual leader voice...but

he was saying Steubenville.

How precioussss ...and tenddddder... he speeeakssss.
But no matter how harrrrrd...he...triessss...to sound....sinceeeere...Santorum hasn't been a blue collar anything since the dayyyyy... he was born.

Numerous people here and on Facebook, Twitter, etc as well as at work today have proclaimed that in this open primary voting state of Ohio, they have been voting for Santorum so the Republican primary will drag on, and that a vote for Santorum now, is a guaranteed win for our President in the fall.

I could never put a check mark in front of any of these limp Republicans, but it gives me a bit of a twisted joy to think they are jagging around with the Pennsylvania *jag-off*

but on the other side of the state. Yeah its a semi-closed (or semi-open) primary. You go there and they as you to check your party. Based on what you check you will get a ballot that corresponds with it. I was gonna declare republican and play some reindeer games by voting for either santorum or paul. However, the guy at the table was my next door neighbor growing up and he knows me and my party affiliation. Added to that, I hold office in the city and this guy WOULD raise a stink about it as he is very conservative. So I declared democrat and got to vote for people running unopposed.

Someone actually knew who you are and you couldn't pretend to be someone else?

13. Not voter fraud. You can declare yourself a Republican, and get that ballot.

Perfectly legal, my Dad voted for Santorum in Ohio just because, well, legally, he can do so.

His reasoning is Santorum staying in the race will hurt Romney in the long run.

Good reason.
