MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. -- Mitt Romney's campaign is blasting out automated phone calls that feature a recording of former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania raising questions about John McCain's "temperament" -- a hot-button issue that Romney himself has assiduously avoided. Santorum said in an interview today that he wrote the script himself, and the campaign deferred to him and approved it.

At that last debate senility seemed to be an issue.
He was rambling on and on in search of a thought.

Santorum said he had personally witnessed problems with McCain's temperament, which he declined to detail.

"I don't know anybody in the Senate who hasn't," Santorum said. "Everybody has their McCain story."
Dems and the MSM are going to eat this man alive!

Hello,

He rambled quite alot. He also was just barely able to control his dislike of Mitt (he seems to like Huck, and ignores RuPaul).

He came across as angry, spiteful, smarmy and generally a creepy mean old man.

I saw the news clip. Romney’s temper did not come anywhere near to a flair. It was the AP reporter who raise his voice with disdain when he asked Romney the question. Romney calmly answered him back.

This is absolutely fair game. The treason party will certainly raise it as an issue if McCain gets the nod from the pubbies.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a temper. We don’t want some panty-waist for president. Didn’t VP Cheney say F_ck You to Leahy? But if discussing McShaim’s temper is a surrogate for suggesting he’s mentally unbalanced, then it’s ok.
