Good grief!!
Bachmann, Perry, Huntsman and Cain were far better candidates than Santorum. His status quo has nothing to do with his merits - it’s because of anti-Romney fever and the unrelenting, full-monty attacks on Newt. The reason Santorum is still hanging on is because he is so stunningly & stubbornly self-absorbed.
Amen, brother! I can’t believe more people here aren’t seeing this.
I never said it was fair.
You’re quite right it doesn’t appear fair that Santo is benefiting now from the Romney malaise when Cain, Bachmann and Perry appeared to be better candidates than Santorum.
But life isn’t fair. And neither is politics.
But the facts are undeniable that Santo is more viable now than he was a week ago. Of course we can debate how much more viable he is, given the Romney malaise and Newt’s collapse in support, but for anyone to say he is NOT more viable after his victories in Mississippi and Alabama on Tuesday is either a bitter partisan or simply not reading the tea leaves.
