If Santorum had a snowball’s, he would have moved up the ladder by now.
The problem is he could not win in his own state in 2006.
The accuracy of that poll is somewhat in question, when my results show Jeb Bush with a 9% higher rating than Herman Cain. It also shows Newt as my #1 pick (HAH!)at 84% with Santorum second, Palin 3rd.
I won’t say it’s rigged, but Jeb Bush rating above Bobby Jindal is also suspect, IMHO.
None of them have a chance as long as the infighting continues...You know that’s what the plan was from the beginning. Time is short.
Santorum couldn’t get re-elected in his own state. He has no chance of winning a national election.
Every debate he's seemed like someone hopped up, ready to explode. Just way over the top. IMHO
As I’ve said before, he’s my first choice. Not holding my nose this election. Still donating. Still no regrets.
A quick point: Santorum lost by 18 points in part because he decided to stick with his convictions in an election cycle when other Republicans were running for the center. One would think that he should get some credit for that—principles being more important than victory at any cost.
And, as to the contention that he is running to be Romney’s VP: That’s nonsense. The ticket won’t consist of two people from the Northeast and Santorum is smart enough to know that. (Remember, too, that in the last major debate it was Santorum who initiated the attack on Romney about Obamacare.)
And you may not agree with his decision to support Specter, but his reasoning was that, in a closely divided Senate, a Specter victory would enable President Bush’s judicial nominees not to be bottled up in committee (hence, Roberts and Alito), whereas a Toomey loss might create a Democratic Senate and a Supreme Court setback.
if the Steelers are beating the Eagles 35-3 at the end of the 3rd period, do the Eagles have a chance?
Santorum: too far behind, and only 6 weeks to caucus day. No resources. Small staff. No money.
This quiz is a great summary of what is wrong with the Santorum campaign - great content, but all packaged up and delivered in an unappealing and inaccessible way (small font on similar-colored, low-contrast background). I had to go get my glasses just to read the darn thing.
He has no chance. He is a preacher... not a president.
They also had a son, Gabriel, who was born at twenty weeks in 1996. He died in a matter o hours. They took the child home overnight to introduce him to their other children. Many Scumbag Democrats and feckless Republicans point to this as strange, when it is an act of true love for their child and a gift to their other children to see that they had a brother.
Rick Santorum was beaten in 2006, mostly due to his loyalty to GWB for endorsing someone he didn't want to endorse. He ran against Bob ‘scumbag, liar, ne’r do well son’ Casey. Son and namesake of Robert Casey, Sr. The former PA Governor. CAsey a fake pro-lifer and suposed Blue Dog has been a reliable Obama minion. He was screwed over royally by the press over living arrangements while in DC because he had his kids enrolled in a Cyber School so they could be with him in DC. His residency was disputed and he was run through the dirt. He owned a home next to his inlaws in PA and one in the DC suburbs. The Democrat machine tresspassed and thugged up charges against him.
He is a great guy and would make a great president. He walks pro-life and family values like he talks it and we could and probably will do a damn sight worse than him.
Not a chance he betrayed conservatives with his Specter endorsement so he dug his own hole.
Santorum is one of the “cleanest” candidates running. Too bad so many here are swayed by the msm’s hatred of the man. Seems the worst that can be said is his support of Arlen sphincter at GW’s request. He is as solid a Conservative as any one running.
After he endorsed Spectre over Toomey, most FReeper wrote him off.
He did a great job today on the Forum/debate. His personal story about his child was very moving. He seems like a nice guy. But I think he lacks the x factor and simply won’t be able to bring in the votes.
I see him as better than some and not as good as others.
I am already committed to the guy I want to see as our next president, Newt Gingrich.
I don’t know, but looking at the “politifact” ratings that designated Obama, Clinton and Biden as being “Mostly true” and half true... I don’t put much weight into their quiz results. Also, I did not see where I disagreed fundamentally with candidates that they scored way low for my answers : /
Tatt
I got 91% Santorum, both for actual candidates running AND for all politicians. Hmm.
Santorum is for fully for a full fledged federal government..
NO disassembly required.. no lessening the size and scope of it.. except by rhetoric..
Santorum does not know what the problem is and has no answers for fixing them..
The boy talks but says nothing.. answers problems that don’t exist.. and is a BIG government republican..
Like George Bush... and Myth Romney.. an probably Newt, Cain and Perry as well..
Uh, no.
