Unfortunately, “Good for Santorum” = “Great for Obama.”
Rick Santorum is possibly the only guy running who would likely lose to Obama, even with Obama tanking in his own polls.
But GallupUSA showed Santorum beating Obama by a point and Gingrich trailing so far behind Obama that he fell out of the rear view mirror.
Yeah. Like Romney, he’ll depress turnout of the Republican party... only getting 1/3 of it (ie: the social conservatives).
While at the same time, he’ll energize the Democraps to turn out for Obama, just so they can try and stop him.
Which is not good.
But, that’s what the Republican voter is wanting. And he’ll get it.
Yet, every poll out there recently shows him ahead or neck-and-neck with Obama and doing better than Gingrich against him.
Except that your guy has never been ahead of Obama in the polls while Santorum has spent quite a lot of time (including right now) ahead of Obama.
That mantra is getting old. If Rick is so awful, if so many people AREN'T going to vote for him, then why is he winning so many states? Obviously he's doing something right. How 'bout Newt drop out sooner rather than later? If staying in until the convention will keep 0 on edge then fine, but he needs to get out of the way of the other conservative running when the time comes.
