I hope you're right. I want to defeat Obama but I also fear Santorum has not had his anal exam yet. I like Santorum but I am scared.

BTW, Santorum had to have spent far more than $21,000 in Iowa. He's been here for months. Has he been sleeping in people's homes and being driven around in volunteers' cars and volunteers paying for gas?

What about air fare?

Thinking strategically, hopefully Santorum can deliver PA, OH, MI, WI, FL plus get all the southern states.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

You are absolutely correct about all of it.

I’m not convinced the good showing for Santorum in Iowa is all it’s being cracked up to be. Think back to Bachman’s strong win in the Iowa straw poll and her finish last night. I grew up in Iowa and know the atmosphere there. It’s a socially conservative state to the point of “oh, I can get that?” Bachman bought her Iowa straw poll win and Santorum spent all he had in Iowa and his history of “bringing home the pork” along with his religious position served him well in Iowa. I don’t think he can carry that on to subsequent states. Iowa is a flesh on flesh campaign state. The rest are more “who has the money” to put out the information and influence. Santorum doesn’t currently have the money, though it may start coming, and doesn’t project an image of strength to carry him forward.

I think this race will end up Gingrich and Romney.

I guess he drove his truck. I agree I was surprised by the number 21,000. But Fox is the one who announced it. It appears Perry is going to SC after all.

The one nobody wanted beat your illegal loving rube. And now he’s taking his boots and going home.

And look who else is coming to Texas:

Mark Bass, vice president of maintenance, modifications and upgrades for the Boeing unit that operates the Wichita plant, said the realignment would move 300-400 jobs to San Antonio.

[rintense]

And how many jobs will be lost in Wichita? That’s what realignment means.

[sockmonkey]

Movin to Texas ( San Antonio) to work on AF1..

Oh, with all the Base Closures/Realignments in TX under brac, I had no idea what the word realignment meant../s

2,160 jobs out of Wichita, KS under the Boeing Realignment.
