First it was Jim Harbaugh's overly enthusiastic handshake (http://www.freep.com/article/20120223/SPORTS01/120223040/Jim-Harbaugh-not-willing-talk-about-handshake-brouhaha) With Lions coach Jim Schwartz after the Niners beat the Lions. Now Ron Paul fans are up in arms over the way Rick Santorum shook Paul's hand after the debate last night.

I can't print many of the Paul supporter's comments here but they're not happy. Don't mess with Ron or the Ronulans are going to get you.

I say he was joking around with him but I guess you should be more careful with a 97-year-old man, he might of dislocated a shoulder or something.

So, he don't like women, kids, dogs, OR old men. Just perfect for you guys.

Don't forget atheists and Protestants. By the way, why aren't you actively pulling for Paul any more. You used to not be shy about wanting him to be your president (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/politics/candidates-99575.html#post450861).

By the way, why aren't you actively pulling for Paul any more.Hello again, Steve:

Well, I still like the old fart.. But, I'm more concerned with the long term prospects of my country.. I'm still convinced that the next president will nominate two and maybe three Supreme Court Justices... The impact THEY'LL have on my beloved country will outweigh what the next president does by 20 to 1.

It was clear that Romney and Paul did a tag team on Santorum yesterday. Not surprising as Romney must have vivid memories of how McCain and the Huckster did it to him in 2008.

Anyway the speculation is that the quid pro-quo for this is Rand Paul will join the Romney team and shatter the Tea Party . Rand Paul has certainly signaled his willingness to join Team Mittens .

Anyway ,the way those two mauled Santorum yesterday ,I think that handshake was restrained .

Definitely a handshake in defeat

I watched it on the big screen last night, he was joking around.

I don't think he was mad. I think he was just resolute in his defeat. It looked like a handshake you give someone when you admire how much they whipped you.

I'll buy that.
