While I am not going to criticize the motives of the author and am inclined to take him at his word about his reasons for writing and maybe even his own timing, the timing of the article's prominent appearance in a major conservative magazine like Forbes is pretty likely intended by the Romney campaign to attack Santorum and is likely part of an effort to knock Santorum out of the race by wrecking his polling numbers in Pennsylvania.

As the Primary now turns toward Rick's homestate there is no doubt the Romney camp will be in full swing to upset his chances. However there are also those in Pa. who have not forgotten why Rick was booted before and are not about to be taken in by him again. So we'll be seeing more articles from authors etc. who might very well be airing their own opinion for that. It's no secret the idea is to prevent Romney taking the state...though it's almost too late for that. I will soon be voting and though not in Santorums court if he looks to take the state over Newt then I will vote for SAntorum to keep Romney out. But not happy to do so.

caww, I need to apologize. Our posts crossed in cyberspace.

Your last post prior to mine (#68) says this: “It's no secret the idea is to prevent Romney taking the state...though it's almost too late for that. I will soon be voting and though not in Santorums court if he looks to take the state over Newt then I will vote for SAntorum to keep Romney out. But not happy to do so.”

I can and do respect that position. I have just publicly questioned your motives and I need to think more carefully before I do that or something similar in the future.

Again, I apologize. I was wrong, and I'm sincerely sorry.
