Voters Know Romney Isn't A Conservative

Romney and Santorum are tied for the lead among Republican voters 32 to 30 percent, respectively in a Gallup Poll. And the Pew Research Center has the leaders flipped, with Santorum leading Romney 30 percent to 28 percent.

"Another candidate has come up to challenge him, and this time he’s having trouble finding out how to go after someone who is a solid conservative, who’s got a great track record of attracting independents and Democrats and winning states as a conservative," Santorum said in an interview on ABC Television’s "This Week."

"Santorum is now the clear favorite of Republican and G.O.P.-leaning voters who agree with the Tea Party, as well as white evangelical Republicans," the Pew survey found. "Currently, 42 percent of Tea Party Republican voters favor Santorum, compared with just 23 percent who back Romney. Santorum holds an almost identical advantage among white evangelical Republican voters (41 percent to 23 percent)."

On Sunday, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin voiced her concerns about that:

"I am not convinced [of Romney's conservatism] and I don’t think that the majority of GOP and independent voters are convinced, and that is why you don’t see Romney get over that hump," Palin said. "He is still in the thirty-percentile mark when it comes to approval and primary wins and caucus wins. He still hasn't risen above that yet because we are not convinced... He has spent millions and millions and millions of dollars and hasn't risen yet."

Saying the Republican nomination contest is now a "two- person race," Santorum said on NBC’s "Meet The Press" yesterday that he had "raised over $3 million this week alone and money continues to pour in."

Santorum said he’s in a strong position heading into the primaries in Arizona and Michigan, where Romney’s father, George Romney, was governor. Santorum’s wins last week underscore his potential strength in the Midwest and Mountain West, particularly in areas with large blue-collar populations.

Santorum is a true conservative with strong family values and believes in smaller government. Romney is too much like Barack Obama. The Democrats know they can feast on Romney.
