Ooooh.... the dreaded CAPS!
You're failing, Ben. I've been posting Santorum's abysmal voting record for a couple of days now, and all you do in response is post snarky comments, cheer leading, or navel-gazing theories about why you think Santorum has a ghost of a chance of winning this thing.
Your guy's (real) polling numbers are reverting to trend, and this is causing you to desperately scream out for support for his candidacy.
Face the facts. They are what they are. He's not coming back, because most conservatives have never supported the guy all along, and he's never given most of us a solid reason to give him a second look, or to change our minds about him.
You can keep waving your pom poms for him, but it's doing no good. He never had a winning base of support to begin with, and he's gaining no traction now. This race is realistically down to two men -- Romney and Gingrich. Period.
Throw your support to one or the other. That is all.
“You’re failing, Ben.”
If I’m failing, why is your response to every positive thread about Santorum is to cut and paste off your list? Clearly you are frightened of Sir Sweater-vest and his army of soothing sycophants. Or solid supporters as the case may be.
“all you do in response is post snarky comments, cheer leading, or navel-gazing theories about why you think Santorum has a ghost of a chance of winning this thing.”
Uh, yeah. It’s called IOWA. Snark, navel gazers and cheerleaders galore. And apparently a few conservatives too.
“Your guy’s (real) polling numbers are reverting to trend”
16 percent is ‘reverting to trend’? Really? If that’s the case that’s a 14 point jump from where he was a month ago. Things have changed.
“this is causing you”
No. You cutting and pasting and posting in every thread that happens to be supportive of Santorum, prompts my response.
“most conservatives have never supported the guy”
Uh, the data in Iowa and NH show Santorum as number 1 among conservatives. Newt gets about half of Santorum’s support. The rest of Newt’s support comes from moderates and independents.
Heck, even the guy who posts the breakdowns clearly points this out. The evidence is there.
“he’s never given most of us a solid reason to give him a second look”
It’s called Iowa.
“You can keep waving your pom poms for him, but it’s doing no good.”
So sayeth the prophet Windflier.
“He never had a winning base of support to begin with”
Again, it was enough to win Iowa and beat Romney. So clearly, he did have a sufficient base there to win the nomination.
“gaining no traction now”
Traction? What’s that? He’s already gotten traction. That is why he is in the conversation and leads Newt in delegates.
“This race is realistically down to two men — Romney and Gingrich.”
Uh, Huntsmen has more delegates than Newt.
“Throw your support to one or the other.”
Why would I back a loser who can’t win a primary in the South and isn’t running in his home state?
