Why does that make Rick a more “righteous” candidate? Or have ANYTHING to do with skills it takes to be President? Or getting elected?
IF, IF, IF we could just get 1/2 of Santorum supporters to consider and answer that question, Newt would be the winner. I just keep trying, like I know you do, every way I can. the slog is painful and slow..
I do not care which is more righteous. However, I must be in the other half - seeing Santorum as the better choice. In spite of having to vote in the Senate, his ACU rating is as good, or in his last year, better than Gingrich’s. The author seems to believe this is all about blind faith. It is about what we, the voters, believe to be our best chance to beat Obama and then right the country.
We are not saying that Newt is bad, simply that we find Santorum a better choice. I have already cast my ballot, so convincing me is meaningless. Newt will have to find a way to convince people who have not yet voted that he is trustworthy to turn this around to any degree.
Santorum is the Obama of the Right. Somehow Santorum has managed to cultivate the same kind of zombie-like fan base who project onto him their imaginary hopes, dreams, and idealizations of the man they wish Santorum to be.
