FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
For a conservative Christian, Rick Santorum is rapidly becoming a candidate without a prayer.
In fact, there is so much handwriting, you can hardly see the wall.
Pennsylvania, his home state and the place he said he was counting on to get the second half of his campaign off to a rousing start, is the same Pennsylvania that voted him out of the United States Senate by a margin of 18 points.
Well, guess what? Apparently the feelings of the voters in that state haven't changed much when it comes to Rick Santorum.
Mitt Romney is now surging in the polls in the Keystone State. And Santorum - who once led there by double-digits - is rapidly losing ground.
Santorum is going from serious candidate for president of the United States to the butt of jokes.
CNN political contributor James Carville says Santorum is like "a chicken with his head chopped off. The chicken is dead. The only person that doesn't know it is the chicken."
Senator John McCain is calling Santorum "irrelevant" and a growing number of Republicans say he should go.
Now we find out Santorum is taking four days off from campaigning. Wonder what that's about. Do you suppose a little soul-searching is in order?
There is absolutely no way Rick Santorum is going to be the Republican presidential nominee. You know it, I know it, the voters know it, and on some level Rick Santorum knows it, too.
So why stay too long at the dance and see what little credibility you might have left ripped to shreds as folks watch you refuse to accept reality?
Here’s my question to you: Rick Santorum for president? Seriously?
Interested to know which ones made it on air?
Katty:
Santorum is worse than the guest who refuses to acknowledge he has overstayed his welcome, and believe me he has. He is right up there with Palin when it comes to handing out irritation. Big time! Santorum's ego is so big it hasn't dawned on him: HE IS NOT OUR GIFT FROM GOD.
Alan:
With Santorum, we get more religion in government. That works so well in Iran, what could go wrong here?
Dominic in Atlanta:
I just became a United States citizen three weeks ago. I might be going back to Canada if Pope Santorum EVER becomes president. And after 12 years, I was just starting to like it here!
Ram:
Seriously. If you are a hardcore, right-wing conservative who's simply not convinced by flip-flop Romney, what choice do you have? You are not going to vote for the president. The only place to turn is Santorum, Gingrich or Paul... or not vote at all.
Paul:
No, not seriously. The old saying is familiarity breeds contempt. Well, the voters in Pennsylvania are most familiar with whacky Rick, so his chances there are nil. No one but Rick and a handful of deluded followers have ever taken this candidacy seriously. Santorum has progressed from odd to strange to weird to irrational to off-the-chart nuts. What's left?
Frank in Los Angeles:
Mitt Romney for president? Seriously? Newt Gingrich for president? Seriously? Rick Perry for president? Herman Cain? Michele Bachmann? The Republican Party is in serious condition. Seriously.
Sandra in Texas:
Maybe he thinks there will be an immaculate election.
