The following classless comment comes from Rick. If Newt weren't in the race, I wouldn't vote for Santorum.

"Santorum also took on Gingrich obliquely, reminding the crowd that he and his own wife, Karen, have been married 21 years and home-schooled their seven children. On Friday, he was less subtle in drawing an implicit contrast with Gingrich’s history of marital infidelity, castigating him for sitting on a sofa next to Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) in a TV ad calling for steps to address climate change.

“I didn’t sit on the couch with anybody,” Santorum said. “I would only sit on the couch with my wife. Period. No other women — particularly not Nancy Pelosi.”

Newt doesn't have a tin ear or a silver tongue.

He listens and reads and looks for the truth and speaks the same.

Mitt is a wealthy political bumbler and Rick is a neophyte.

Go Newt!

He is our only hope!

Newt or Romney either one could win this thing, I don’t see how Santorum could. We need to get Santorum out of this race, like yesterday...

That's about as condescending as the line "why don't you go deep-fry something" from the movie Sweet Home Alabama

If Newt is the nominee, the Presidential debates will be glorious.

So glorious that I would bet dollars to doughnut holes that Ubama won't participate.

If Myth or Rick is the nominee, the debates are going to be a disaster that I will not bother watching.

I don't know why Santorum even bothers with these kinds of remarks anymore, he has pretty much sewn up the pharisee-holier-than-thou-whited-wall vote. What a sanctimonious prig. Ugh.

“I would only sit on the couch with my wife. Period. No other women — particularly not Nancy Pelosi.”

This is just about as dirty as a campaign tactic can get. What is he implying, that Gingrich was hitting pelosi? How stupid and childish “ I would only sit on a couch with my wife. Period.”. Is anyone sick of this arrogant, phony, baiting little attorney/politician/xsenator? VinL, I’m with you, he is damn lucky Gingrich is in the race or he WOULD be home sitting on the couch with his wife. PERIOD.

Sounds like Santorum has been reading "Campaigning 101", by barack obama...either that or "Rules for Radicals".

Santorum is the kid that would tell the teacher who talked while she was out of the room, whether she asked him to, or not.

What a dweeb.

Gingrich can sooo get away with this in the South.

Nobody else.

"I'm really impressed. There must be no one left at Wal-Mart this afternoon."

I don't see how this remark is going to help him. Given that he was wearing a BASS shirt and had gotten the fishing props, he would have been better served if he had said something like "Wow, the lakes must all be empty today."

Instead, he was "impressed" that the 'pervasive' Walmart shopping "activity" was temporarily put on the back burner.

And I don't think Calista shops there....

Just...doesn't...sound...good.

Vesty is such a pious fraud. He compromised his convictions to support Spector, Romney, vote for Sotomyer and Title 10. He talks the talk but sells out on a political whim.

Now the little church lady Sanctamonious wants to be the moral judge on Newt..he is not worthy enough to shine Newt's shoes

So what? That woman with eight babies beats him! Let’s elect HER president then!Or the other woman who’s got EIGHTEEN kids!
Rick is an idiot if he thinks that is an argument to be elected.

Newt talks about what he will do in the future. Those other three talk about what they did in the past.

“I didn’t sit on the couch with anybody,” Santorum said.

REALLY? Barbara Bower and Hillary Clinton are “anybodies”?

In his tough 2006 race to retain his Senate seat, which he lost by double digits, Rick Santorum attempted to appeal to moderates and liberals in an advertisement touting his work with Sens. Joe Lieberman, Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton.

I totally disagree that this was a dig at Gingrich’s many marriages and affairs.

Santorum was simply using an analogy about not sitting on the couch with another woman (I had a pastor that would never sit alone with a women nor be in a car alone with a woman because he wanted to make sure that there was never any question about fidelity) and the incident with Newt and Pelosi- sitting on the couch with Pelosi was improper because it led to all kinds of questioning of Newt’s loyalties. Period.

No, nobody, and I mean nobody, thinks Newt was cheating with Nancy. That’s not the problem.

So that's what the kids called it in Rick's day?
