Santorum: Mitt Romney is "unqualified"



Rick Santorum, looking for any kind of traction to justify his continued campaign in spite of low numbers in the poll, issued some of his harshest criticism of Mitt Romney to date in Minnesota today.

From CNN: "I really don't find any legitimate reason why [Romney] would oppose [Obamacare], because the plan he put together in Massachusetts is in fact Obamacare on the state level," Santorum said during a strongly worded healthcare-centered speech, adding that Romney "should not be the nominee of our party." He added that Romney is "uniquely unqualified and I would argue disqualified" from making the case against the nation's healthcare plan."

I've been of the opinion that Rick Santorum is only staying in the race for the GOP nomination in hopes of being the Vice President pick. Clearly he's not going to have the votes/delegates to clinch the top spot.

However, it's looking like it will be more and more difficult to take on the VP nom when he'll have to walk back all these attacks on Romney. Not sure there's a 'spin' out there that can accommodate his attacks.
