Like Santorum, I am staunch prolife Catholic who goes to daily Mass, therefore, I like him very much, but I can’t see him beating Obama.
Only NEWT can beat anybody DECISIVELY as he put it.
Last night I listen to Santorum’s speech compared to Newt’s, what a difference. Even my 17 year old son said: “ Santorum mentioned nothing specific.” He is such a poor public speaker, I am afraid that we will have to accept Romney who has no conscience when it comes to winning a game. With all the money he has spent and name’s recognition, party elites’ endorsement, he couldn’t even win big in Ohio. That says it all about his chance to win in general election.
If we don’t unite behind Newt, we are doomed because Santorum does not have a skill and agenda to do it.
We need Newt to team up with Palin right now and campaign as a semi-official ticket. But who wants to risk political chance with third-place finisher?
I pulled the lever for him in MI to stop Obamaney, but as I have said my gut feel says he ain't got the chops for the Job and your Son saw right through it too. Out of the mouth of babes ...
Santorum is the only one who can both take out Romney and Obama. I don't doubt Newt can beat Obama but he can't get past Mitt--Santorum can.
I’m to the point I’d take Romney over Santorum. I am simply not ready for another Republican presidential candidate who can’t act presidential and string a couple of sentences together in an inspiring way.
Newt’s really got the gift. Romney has it. Santorum doesn’t. His voice grates me.
I think what grates me more is the lack of an agenda. Or when he has one, he quickly goes off that agenda and gets caught in all the spiderwebs.
I don’t get why Santorum has taken off. Perhaps I’m “out of touch,” but he simply doesn’t inspire me. I appreciate his candor and conviction... but then he backs away from it. *sigh*
Only NEWT can beat anybody DECISIVELY as he put it.
Then why does he come in 3rd?
Like you, my husband is a staunch prolife Catholic who goes to daily Mass, and has all his life, but he really doesn’t like Santorum, primarily because he can’t find an ounce of humility in the man.
He doesn’t impress him as being a leader or a statesman, or even an original thinker. He doesn’t exude confidence, whereas he sees of those qualities in Newt Gingrich, plus even more.
If prayers are answered, Newt Gingrich will some how win and Sarah Palin will some how be at his side.
