It's not like he's been helping his own cause over the last couple of weeks.
Really?
I guess you agree with the libtards that discussing social values has no place in presidential politics.
I attribute some of it to Santorum’s poor prep for the debate, which he needed to do well at.
Well, let's give him some more credit: 100% of the pounding he's taken in the last two weeks has been generated by the MSM to help Obozo by helping Romney, and they reached back to his Ave Maria College remarks of -- what? -- four years ago? to dredge up their Maguffin, their peg on which they hung their proposition that Santorum's a narrow "religious bigot", a modern-day Cotton Mather.
Which, by the way, is "oppo" work. The MSM's running "oppo" on Rick Santorum, and he's staying more-or-less even with those BS-tards and their flaming, simpering spite machine.
