Santorum is kidding himself, as people do on ego trips, bent on winning a nomination he’d waste, and the country be damned but he must have the hollow victory.
Ok. I will bite. I absolutely have zero problem with a Newt nominee. Now you tell me after winning two states how he is going to get the nomination at the convention. There is no way that he will get the nominee even there with 2 small wins under his belt. Things could have been different. He could have run his campaign better. Skipping almost every state was not a good idea. He ran hard in MS and AL and lost. The very places that he is strong in. I don’t know why people won’t vote for Newt. I think it is that people find Santorum more conservative, principled, family values candidate. The thing people don’t understand about Santorum is that he will get the blue collar workers who can’t stand Obama right now. Newt is going to fight Obama over the “higher educated on paper and higher income” type of people....problem is there is not enough of them.
Great response to LL, naps.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Newt is finished. Voters go where herded by the media, they fall for good looks or smooth talking.
Voters are stupid. Look who’s POTUS.
Conservatives need to face the reality of the 21st century voter’s brain. It’s diseased; by decades of chronic poisoning. In 1980 there were still enough sane, rational, civic-minded Americans to get Reagan elected. Not now.
Conservatism needs a good salesman and a miracle worker just to stay on message, never mind prevail. To prevail we probably need to make blood run in the streets, and we are not inclined that way.
I was looking forward to the debate in Portland..hoping some very urgent issues would be discussed and also have noticed noone is asking about the UN. Wanted to hear the candidates talk about the soldier in Afghanistan; more clarity on what the hell we are doing in Africa and of course more on the economy. The tv ads, journalistic hit pieces just dont do it for me...I prefer verbal exchanges on ideas between the candidates and NO there hasnt been enough debates.
As for LL...she is right on Santorum. He needs to get back to the economy and address how he will deal with it. Off the contraceptives and porn ...it will hurt him if he doesnt do a turn around.
