Santorum’s known personality in PA is partly why he lost so completely in ‘06. It is also why he is still on shaky ground in PA in this primary. The good people of PA know him all too well.
These same “good people” reelected Gov. Rendell by a twenty point margin over Lynn Swann in that same 2006 election, and barely elected Sen Toomey in 2010, an extremely strong year for any Republican.
Most voters in PA actually liked Santorum and recognized him for his ability to represent the State. Logically, the War in Iraq and his opponent, the son of an extremely popular ex-Governor, would have been too much for anyone to overcome.
Seemingly, you look to be a closet Romney supporter as you sure like to post anything bashing his main opponent.
It showed in all the debates, with his nodding his head, red faced and grinning like a two year old,(who just discovered something), while others spoke. The "ME TOO" or "Pick Me" syndrome.
I DON'T like him one bit, but I will vote for him IF I HAVE TO. SO SAD for me to contemplate that, when we have the best with NEWT GINGRICH.
The same NEWT GINGRICH for whom RICK owes all his good fortune to in this primary. Newt took the fall and Ricky benefited, not on his own merits, but because Mitt took Newt (the best) out first.
YOUR TURN RICK, you want Newts support as well as his supporters? You don't deserve it, but by default you may get it. just damn, you lucky dog.
