Now that Rick Santorum has won the Kansas caucus with a whopping 51% of the vote, he is very much in the running to be President of The United States. Being outspent by Romney more than ten to one, and still winning primaries and caucuses in numerous states, it is clear that Rick Santorum is far more popular with the heartland masses than the Mitt, who is attempting to buy the Presidency.
So just what is Mitt’s biggest selling point? His campaign keeps playing their ‘trump’ card mantra over and over: “Mitt Romney is the only Republican candidate who can beat Barack Obama in November.”
Where exactly do they get that? And what did they put in the Kool-aid that has been force fed to voters by the mass media? It’s got to be one of the most bizarre lies ever hatched in politics. They are totally ignoring the fact that the latest Rasmussen Poll shows Santorum AHEAD of Obama in a one to one match-up!
So instead of reporting real news like this, the major media is temporarily propping up their man Mitt, but just as soon as he clinches the GOP slugfest, the network news and newspapers will be carving him up, making a mince meat feast: Roast Romney.
Some reporters are already prepping their soon-to-be headline stories about Morons posthumously baptizing Adolf Hitler and a 9-11 terrorist hijacker! And this is just the entre. The main course includes Mitt’s ‘brutal’ Bain Capital corporate raids responsible for putting thousands of people out of jobs. Oh, and the just deserts? We shudder to think of what they might be.
In contrast, there is not much the media can do to carve up a relatively ‘boring’ squeaky clean Boy Scout like Rick.
Truth be told, the major media is afraid of a one to one match-up in November of a corrupt community organizer who may not even be a U.S. citizen vs. an all American crusader fighting Washington corruption. Bottom line: Santorum wins! But that is IF he can beat Mitt and Mitt’s fair weather media friends and the GOP ‘good ol’ boy establishment who keeps ponying up the likes of Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney.
Good luck with that.
How exactly does winning a primary in a state where he was the only one to campaign show that Santorum is the one to face Obama?
Weak, weak and....................................weak.
Santorum is a neophyte...Obama would make "cheezy grits" of him! And step on him like Romney's cock-a-roach!
Go Newt!
And it wasn’t even a primary but a caucus.
1% of KS caucused.
53% of that, voted for S.
Delegates, to be chosen later, are unbound.
It’s good for him and his, but the headline is wacked out.
Too bad about Rick never having accomplished anything, huh?
We could put Romney up against 0bama and have a GREAT chance to take the general.
Why the dimocrats would be so confused as to which one is the biggest liberal that they wouldn't know who to vote for!
Can you ever stare reality in the face and recognize it? Today’s Rasmussen shows Santorum beating Obama albeit by one point.
Obama will go through Santorum like a weed-eater through a dandelion patch....
Perhaps he hasn’t accomplished much yet, but if he wins the Presidency, that will be a decent accomplishment, don’t you think?
God knows I do try...really...I do try.
But since when is Rasmussen reality?
Maybe the media will get ahead of themselves and start beating up on Mitt too early and some other candidate ends up winning in a brokered convention. Like Jeb, Sarah or Jim (Demint)
I’ve always had a difficult time compehending how voters and commentators seem to ignore the money spent. We’re in a Tea Party era of reform so a big spending who only is nominally ahead should not be taken so seriously.
Yes, Rick comes across meek. But meekness is not weakness. Moral fortitude comes in all packages. Newt is supposed to be a reformed man, and a great debator and leader. Ron Paul is honest and what you see is what you get. Frankly, any of the three (Rick, Newt or Ron) would make a fine president.
That’s like Obama saying that running his campaign was executive experience. Do we really want to go there again?!
Obama tells CNN’s Anderson Cooper on “360” that running his campaign counts as executive experience.
MINNEAPOLIS—Barack Obama told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday’s edition of “360” that he has more executive experience than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. He compares his national campaign organization to Palin’s stint as a mayor of a small town and ignores that she is a governor.
On CNN’s “360” Obama “also countered critics who suggest that he has less executive experience in this situation compared to Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin saying, “...my understanding is, is that Governor Sarah Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We have got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So, I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute, I think, has been made clear over the last couple of years.
And, certainly, in terms of the legislation that I passed just dealing with this issue post-Katrina of how we handle emergency management, the fact that many of my recommendations were adopted and are being put in place as we speak, I think, indicates the degree to which we can provide the kinds of support and good service that the American people expect.”(continued)

Newt would likely make a fantastic President.
