Santorum could be bigger threat to Romney

5. Santorum could win the primary

Because as we have seen the Republican base does not want Romney. The King makers in the RNC have been unable to overcome his negatives and Santorum resonates with primary voters. But if Santorum were to win the nomination, there is no way he could possible win the election. Primary voters tend to be extreme both on the right and the left. But in the general election, it is the independents that decide who becomes president.

However, it still remains to be seen how much the 1% are willing to throw behind the Republican candidate and just how far they are willing to go to get their guy elected. Not to mention, they could always steal the election like they did for Bush twice...
