I think I know how Santorum and Bachmann would vote per your query, and I believe they would vote with an eye toward austerity.

I still am a big fan of Rick Perry's ability to speak dynamically in promoting the conservative agenda that I believe the country needs, and in a way that will sway the fence sitters in a positive way, much as Reagan did. I'm just not as sure as the 2 mentioned above as to how he would legislate. Speech doesn't always indicate future action, as we all are much aware. On the campaign trail I still believe Gov. Perry would be hard to beat, at this point in time.
