Rick Santorum or Newt Gingrich?

I thought Super Tuesday wasn't going to be a big deal for Virginia, but just maybe, we Virginia's will have a significant impact on picking our next President. I wonder how many of us will vote Tuesday for someone they don't support?

If Governor Romney wins Ohio, by say double digits, it's likely the death blow to Senator Santorum's chances. If Santorum happens to squeak out a win, we could be looking at a battle to Memorial Day, with the possibility of the GOP hopefuls showing up in Tampa without a nominee.

With only Ron Paul and Mitt Romney on the ballot our vote will expose or endorse Governor Romney's candidacy. With Governor McDonnell actively supporting Romney, campaigning for him in Florida and coming 2nd in the CPAC 2012 straw poll for Vice President,Virginia indeed is playing an active roll this year.

It's possible we could have a Romney/McDonnell ticket this fall. I think the odds are as good as a Santorum/Gingrich ticket, which would have a better shot at the Rust Belt, bring onboard the South and give President Obama a run for his money. Who knows... This has already been one of the strangest primary seasons in my lifetime... Anyone up for another debate?
