I had always liked Huckabee and was disappointed after he dropped out. And it took some time to find one to fill that void of a true social conservative candidate to vote for. I understand that he is not the perfect candidate but is clearly more solid on Faith, Family and Life issues than Romney is and has been. If Romney wins I will support Romney but I am now with Santorum as the social conservative issue president. Santorum has made the Family an issue of his campaign from the beginning. And he was the first to openly declare such in the debates.
Now the one reservation I had always had of Santorum is electibility and it appears he has now become the front runner and he continues to remain strong for a couple of weeks now. Not only that but one thing that Santorum has going for him that none of the other anti-Romney social conservative candidates had was that Santorum has consistently polled as well as and in some cases better than Romney when up against Obama.
Here is one of Santorum's first videos introducing himself to those of us who have been unaware of him till as of late. Quite a different route than most!!!
Here are an impressive list of those who are endorsing Rick Santorum but let us start with Dr James Dobson's statement in part and then conclude this post with a list of other social conservative leaders and this is not an exhaustive list but only what I found on Santorum's site over the past 1 month and a week.
Dr. James Dobson said: "The institution of the family is the key issue facing this great nation. It is the foundation, the bedrock, upon which every dimension of Western Civilization rests. If it is undermined or weakened by cultural and governmental forces, the entire superstructure will collapse in short order. And indeed, today it is in serious jeopardy. The very definition of marriage is threatened, which has implications for the next generation and the stability of society itself.
Of all the Republican candidates who are vying for the presidency, former Sen. Santorum is the one who has spoken passionately in every debate about this concern...."
