Rick Santorum Beats Mitt Romney in National Q-Poll
Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum leads the GOP pack in a national poll unveiled on Wednesday.
Santorum tops a national poll from Quinnipiac University with 35 percent followed by Mitt Romney with 26 percent. Newt Gingrich stands in third with 14 percent followed by Ron Paul with 11 percent. When pitted head-to-head, Santorum takes 50 percent and Romney garners 37 percent.
“Rick Santorum's lead among Republican voters and GOP-leaning independents is built on the votes of Republican men, tea party supporters and white evangelical Christians," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "Santorum is riding the momentum wave from his trifecta of victories in Missouri, Colorado and Minnesota; but so far this year, momentum from one week has been a much-overhyped asset by the time the next round of voting comes along."
The poll of 1,124 Republican primary voters was taken from Feb. 14-20 and had a margin of error of +/- 2.9 percent.

The problem in the GOP Presidential race is Mitt Romney. The base does not want him, but he has all the money to destroy the competition. Mitt must get out of the way if he cares about fixing the country.
Mitt Romney cannot beat Obama because the Republican Base is getting fed up with his scorched earth tactics. The GOP must pull any support from him and find another "go to" guy or gal.
If you look at the the GOP endorsements of Romney, you will find a herd of RINOs representing ever thing wrong with the GOP. Democrats want to destroy Republicans and Republicans want to play nice, compromise, reach across the asile, and be bipartisan and that does not work. This year it must be a battle of ideals not rhetoric.
