Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania threw a few elbows at several potential rivals for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, calling possible contenders Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas “bomb throwers” with little experience.
“Do we really want someone with this little experience?” Mr. Santorum said, referring to Mr. Paul, Mr. Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, The New York Times reported. “And the only experience they have basically — not Rubio, but Cruz and Paul because I don’t think Rubio is going to go — is bomb throwing? Do we really want somebody who’s a bomb thrower, with no track record of any accomplishments?”
Doug Stafford, a senior adviser to Mr. Paul, told the paper they would pass on responding to the “alleged wisdom” of someone who lost re-election in 2006 by 18 points and who “has spent the time since then trying to convince people to elect him to an even higher office than the one he was booted out of.”

Hey Rick, shut up.
Thanks
Mitt received 20 ND delegates to ZERO for NEWT.
this result negated the 21 delegate gain that NEWT had in SC vs. Romney.
hopefully candidates such as scott Walker will avoid hiring people with that “Big Picture” mindset.
Wiley looks like a smart guy but as “deputy political director on former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s presidential bid”, I hope the stupidity didn’t rub off on him.
It doesn’t matter what happened in North Dakota. The race was long over, and the population is teeny tiny, and was not and never will be any indicator of real strength.
When shit is over, it doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter who scores points in the basketball game when the outcome is long decided.
North Dakota? What next, Rhode Island?
This reminds me.
I still remember the below make believe Hollywood quality 2012 POTUS campaign video made in 2011 starring Palin as the uber American 'any-day-now will announce' candidate(which she months earlier told FNC that she decided she wouldn't do it) .
This is the stuff that made many Palinistas here org.asim over in their fantasies 2011.
Check out the quality of this well made and executed Palin video and tell me she wasn't making believe she was running . So many suckers so little time.
Sarah Palin 2011-08-18 - Iowa Passion video( August 18, 2011) classic fantasy movie
she’s still a rock star ....
next would be Virginia, same day as ND, I recall.
Newt. Not on ballot.
It’s a contest of attrition ... nobody can compete in 25 of 50 states and then expect to have the nomination wrapped up.
that is the one thing that Romney got right ... he accumulated delegates everywhere. Which meant the nomination was his even if he had stumbled badly in the final 10 contests. Same deal for 2016 ... compete everywhere or prepare to lose at the convention.
A rock star? That would explain her endorsement of the democrat’s choice for AK Governor, she must have been under the influence.
you don’t know anything about it. ND was irrelevant. So was Virginia. So was Santorum.
Go cuddle up with your sweater vest...
Rick was..... he is now the equivalent of an irrelevant tit on a bore hog
” That would explain her endorsement of the democrat’s choice for AK Governor, she must have been under the influence.”
Not DWI, VWS = Voting While Stupid
and I am not a detail guy....
I don’t know if she’s still legally an Alaska resident and voter.
