It's November 7th and Rick Santorum is President-elect: How did it Happen? [View all]

I can't see Rick winning if he wins the GOP nom. He is simply too radical and I think he puts alot of states in play for us. If he gets it, I think TX is in play, IMHO.

However, lets give people the benefit of the doubt. Lets do a "postmortem. " Lets say he wins. What states does he win? What is his message? Where did Obama go wrong?
