"Disagreeing has never been so much fun!"
Mitt Romney
Rick Santorum
As the race for the Republican nominee nears Super Tuesday it has become pretty evident these two are the frontrunners. Who would you prefer to see win the nomination and why?

Well the truth of the matter is that at the current pace the candidates are going Mitt Romney will more than likely be the Republican nominee. By every account of the states left over to hold primaries and caucuses Santorum would have to secure 75% or more of every state in order to overtake Romney's delegate count. I just don't see that happening at this point. With the likelihood of Paul and Gingrich eventually giving up the race in a few months their delegates would come up for grabs. I'm sure Romney's camp has already considered this and will begin courting them some time soon after the candidates drop out. Not to mention the likely chance that the uncommitted super-delegates will also be up for grabs both before and during the convention. Romney's camp will more than likely secure enough of these votes to get the 1,144 needed to secure the nomination. I sincerely doubt it will end with a contested convention. Not saying it isn't possible, just unlikely. Even if it were to end this way there has never been a case of introducing new candidates that had a chance of securing more votes than either of the two who originally entered the convention in the first place. The few times this has happened on both sides of the spectrum (democratic or republican) it has always ended with super-delegates and uncommitted delegates voting for the candidate that had the majority of votes anyway. The worse thing about this contest is in fact the fundraising. While Obama continues to receive donation after donation the republican nominee suffers due to time and discontent with the candidate.

Current delegate count as of March 12, 2012
Romney-444
Santorum-202
Gingrich-115
Paul-66
What a nightmare for this party. As bull-headed as Gingrich and Paul seem to be this contest may very well end up without a nominee by the start of the convention. How bad is that going to be? Most here seem to go with Santorum, even though the South seems the only likely states he can really win. How does he think he has a chance? Comments please.
