I am glad you pointed that out. It’s mainly among conservatives that Romney is considered the weakest candidate. Some liberals agree, but there is no consensus among liberals and many think Romney with his money and organization and good V Obama poll numbers now will be the hardest to beat. They are split on this. And some think Romney winning wouldn’t be so bad for liberalism too. No consensus at all.
But without a doubt, there’s a huge number of libs who are convinced Santorum would be by far the easiest. In fact, they hadn’t even thought that kind of luck was possible til recently.
You can be sure that in every state with an open primary, the Dems will be taking advantage of the “gift” of Santorum.
Rick has already written several Dem ads on the campaign trail.
As pointed out by Psycho-Freep, Rick is just getting warmed up.
