I agree 10,000%.
But also, what if we really encourage them, support them, get Santorum to win the nomination. Then we encourage him and all the crazies running for Congress to keep going, leading (or chasing) them all in the wrong direction, up the hill to the 'high ground', almost to the top, and then in early November, just as they smell victory...we appear over the top of the hill and smite them all in one fell swoop.. not exactly the same, but also not unlike Sitting Bull, Gall and Crazy Horse did to Custer on June 25, 1876.

That was the first time, according to many historians, that an "Indian" leader led his warriors AWAY from a battle, to circle around behind them instead of confronting them head on. Maybe Obama knows of this day.
