The MSM is trying to give Santorum a boost with this column (it’s hitting all the outlets right now). They’re hoping to put pressure on Newt and begin a chorus for him to quit. It is an amazingly long, positive AP story about Santorum and his campaign — but the headline is the story the AP wants read.
Newt let Santorum have his Romney rumble in Michigan (too bad he spent his money there and is now scrambling). Newt has been focusing his resources on the South. It is hardly honorable to ask him to back down. It really shows Santorum’s weakness going into right to work territory.
They sure will. Matt Lauder began it the day before yesterday. It will not work because Newt’s supporters are energized. Palin will be on Greta tonight. It will be very interesting in what she will say about the race and the candidates. This past weekend, when she was on the Palin radio on the web; she told the candidates to take on the establishment/to change things with bold solutions. She also said to her base (”Don’t worry, I have your back!”)
Something strange happened...last night I caught the end of talk radio’s Dennis Miller show and the current guest was S.E. Cupp. I was on a brief work break and only heard a snippet, but she said that, although she is an
ATHIEST, she just loves Santorum.
Miller was using that as his “hook” to interest the listener, but I don’t know how she expanded on that as I had to leave it.
Don’t know who Miller supports, but that struck me as odd.
Oh, anything is possible in this curiouser and curiouser world...an athiest for Santorum, sure...but the point is she was giddy over Santorum while many people are knocking him for going overboard on the religion and social issues, and she’s an announced athiest.
Looks like she and Miller were trying to blunt that as an issue that some have against Santorum...the “he’s a religious zealot trying to run your life” kind of meme
She was on there to say, don’t worry, I don’t even believe in God and I’m crazy about Rick.
