Time for an attack muffin surge.
No love for St Rick?
Time for an attack muffin surge.
Long live Srah!
What she probably meant was “thank you” to those trying, but they aren’t much of a threat to Romney because he has the money and the ground crew.
Sad fact
She’s right.
Santorum is no threat to Romney in the long run and is just this week’s not-Romney. I used to think he and Romney could work something out to get more social conservative cred for Romney, which is probably what is holding him back. Neither one of them has much in the way of ideas, but what they have is basically big government, “compassionate conservative” stuff.
The problem with this scenario is that both of them are very ambitious and really want to be president, not because of their positions but because they each really feel it’s rightfully theirs...and have spent years running for the office.
Romney started in 2006, lost in 2008 and has been building his campaign ever since then. Santorum (what has he done for a living since he left the Senate?) spent almost the entire last year in Iowa, dragging his family from place to place to convince Iowans that he was a good family man and thus for some reason was particularly deserving of the WH.
So I don’t really see them coming to any kind of an agreement, but heck, you never know...

I see Santorum as more of a bad rash myself.

Thank you for your support!
The candidates and other luminaries like Sarah all know Rick personally. To know him is to NOT like him.
I happen to know one of the former candidates from this cycle - and that person agrees that Santorum is petty and off putting - and tells me that is what everybody thinks.
Nothing against Palin, but she doesn't dictate my vote. I do. Santorum isn't perfect, but I know what I'm going to get from him. Newt has good Newt and bad Newt and I have to hope there may be good Newt. Romney sucks.
Palin doesn’t have the credibility she used to.
While I’m glad that she did not run for president, she should have announced her decision earlier and stopped hinting that she would run. We may have had a better field if conservatives didn’t think they had to get out of the way for Palin.
She needs to stop with the movies, tv shows, and dancing with the stars, and get back into office somewhere.
"This whole idea of personal autonomy, well I don’t think most conservatives hold that point of view. Some do. They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues. You know, people should do whatever they want. Well, that is not how traditional conservatives view the world and I think most conservatives understand that individuals can’t go it alone." [source]Check out his brochure, 50 Things You Didn't Know About Rick Santorum, where he proudly defends food stamps, increasing minimum wage, stem cell harvesting, college tuition subsidies, bloated school funding, working with Bono to fight world poverty, etc.
"What was my vision? I came to the uncomfortable realization that conservatives were not only reluctant to spend government dollars on the poor, they hadn’t even thought much about what might work better. I often describe my conservative colleagues during this time as simply ‘cheap liberals.’ My own economically modest personal background and my faith had taught me to care for those who are less fortunate, but I too had not yet given much thought to the proper role of government in this mission." –Rick Santorum, p. IX It Takes a Family: Conservatism and the Common Good (2005)
"I suspect some will dismiss my ideas as just an extended version of ‘compassionate conservatism.’ Some will reject what I have said as a kind of ‘Big Government Conservatism.’ Some will say that what I’ve tried to argue isn’t conservatism at all. But I believe what I’ve been presenting is the genuine conservatism our Founders envisioned. One that fosters the opportunity for all Americans to live as we are called to live, in selfless families that contribute to the general welfare, the common good." –Rick Santorum, p. 421 It Takes a Family: Conservatism and the Common Good (2005)
"If you're a conservative, there really is only one place to go right now. I would even argue farther than that. If you're a Republican, if you're a Republican in the broadest sense, there is only one place to go right now and that's Mitt Romney." –Rick Santorum, 02/1/2008 [source]

No threat at all?
