I often defend Romney, as I defend all the republican candidates. All are fine with me.
Yes he definitely has to fear appearing like Dole. BTW Dole wasn’t weak he had a reputation for a mean streak. We would have been so better under Dole than Clinton.
Dole was just labeled as a loser, definitely as too old. Don’t fall into any of these traps, folks. Our nominee will be savaged no matter who it is.
I live in the Philadelphia area. While you all enjoy the image of Santorum as an “everyman” I can tell you the Pennsylvania media had him targeted as an extreme out of touch right wing homophobic nazi.
If anything, Santorum is a guy I’d feel most comfortable with in the White House, and he is the guy the media most loves to hate. But they will do Gingrich or Romney the same favor.
I couldn’t wait to hear Rush today deal with the media spin that more jobless means a “robust recovery”. Stay vigilant.
Santorum says he would definitely consider Gingrich for VP and I personally think it would be an ideal match.
Gingrich has the powerful personality that will have an impact in a Santorum administration. Also they’re the perfect matchup for a good cop/bad cop team. Santorum could explain policy with a smile while Gingrich could use his experience to apply the whip in congress.
