That’s it! RP “attack ads” doomed - I say doomed! - the Santorum and Gingrich campaigns. Funny, though,...I don’t remember either Gingrich or Santorum expressing any concern about RP ads...I thought they were PO’d at some other guy with a lot of money and support from the R establishment blanketing the airwaves with outright lies. Golly...I must be “misremembering” what happened.
I only know that I was prepared to give Ron Paul the benefit of the doubt until he ran all those vicious attacks on everyone not named “Ron Paul” (and by the way...anyone not named “Mitt Romney”) in the SC primaries. The guy’s a scumbag and monomaniac who Gingrich and Santorum wisely chose to ignore.
