(forgot the last section)

“The proof is in the pudding, Laura.”

Later in that appearance, Santorum addressed the allegations that two of his rivals for the GOP nomination, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Rep. Ron Paul have formed an alliance.

“You explain to me why Ron Paul is running ads in Michigan,” he said. “He hasn’t even appeared at a campaign event in Michigan. And he is running ads in Michigan and he is attacking me. I mean, you figure that one out for me and you probably are a better political expert than I am. He hasn’t attacked him once in a debate. Look, I’ll take on all comers and I’ll take them on in pairs if necessary.”

Paul, it should be noted, will be making campaign stops in Michigan on Saturday, Sunday and Monday in the lead up to the state’s primary on Tuesday.

Mark my words, fellow conservatives.

Rick’s going to embarrass Willard the Lib in his own home state in county after county after county, and then go on to win Washington rather easily followed by a spectacular Super Tuesday.

[Christie at the beach]

Rick, I am a baby. I have to use excuses...They are

tag teaming on me....mommy...
(tho it was ok when they tagged team on Newt)
(maybe, he will ask the media, not to tag team him along w/obama when it begins to hurt)

My neighbor told me today that she and her husband are supporting Santorum. She said they didn’t intend to vote in the primary till someone other than Romney rose to the top and now they want to help.

With her the issue is the schools (She’s a former school employee) and she like’s Santorum’s stance on schools.

With him, the issue is Romney being such a sleazeball.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Sounds to me like Rick was trading his endorsement for Arlen’s vote. So he’ll endorse any old fool as long he gets a good deal out of it, huh?

[Lady Lucky]

Santorum: Crybaby with a truckload of excuses.

[cripplecreek]

Like it or not, its how politics work.

Tim Pawlenty endorsed Michele Bachmann for the congressional race today.

[CainConservative]

Ahhh... quit your daily whining, Christie.

Newt was absolutely right in attacking Willard the Lib & Nutjob Paul..

And so is Rick.

[sodpoodle]

That was cringe-worthy. Sorry, but both Romney and Santorum seem uncomfortable and stilted in their remarks, comments and off the cuff responses.

No depth, no humor and no good proposals on how to clean up the mess.

[RatRipper]

Specter told the network’s Chuck Todd. “It would be improper to make a commitment on a vote before I knew who the nominee was and whether I thought the nominee was qualified. I’ve got a very strong reputation and a record behind that did not make deals like that.”

Cough . . .cough . . . huff . . . huff . . . ummph . . . yooouuuu have GOT to be kidding . . . tough to be a bigger slime-ball than Benedict Arlen. . . .

[Mariner]

"tough to be a bigger slime-ball than Benedict Arlen. . . . "

I'm no Santorum fan, but I do believe Specter is lying.

[Steamburg]

I will be greatly relieved if Willard gets embarrassed.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Quid pro quo (”what for what” in Latin)

[cripplecreek]

Arlen is a democrat these days and its best to assume he’s working for Obammy.

[Steamburg]

Sounds to me like Rick was trading his endorsement for Arlen’s vote. So he’ll endorse any old fool as long he gets a good deal out of it, huh?

Do you mean it sounds a little like the deal Romney is cutting with Ron Paul?

Tweet from Mark Levin.

Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich on the program today, at their request. Ron Paul and Mitt Romney don't want to come on the show.

[Fresh Wind]

Amazingly, according to many FReepers, Arlen “Magic Bullet” Spectre, Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-Democrat, benefactor of murderous hippies, has suddenly become a paragon of truth and virtue.

Did you think Newt was a baby when he complained about the same things? It isn't whining to point out a collusion between two candidates who are supposedly running two different campaigns. The people might want to know about such a setup.

[cripplecreek]

What gets me about this is that Santorum is taking heat for what someone he endorsed did while Willard was appointing liberal judges himself.
