Santorum himself admitted as much - about lacking certain abilities. Nothing will change that. No need to wait and see on that count.
Will Newt implode? Maybe. Every Newt supporter knows its a risk. Rick takes the “slings and arrows” for what he believes. That is admirable.
Newt throws the slings and arrows right on target against those who believe the wrong things, he doesn’t take them. That’s ability.
Are you admitting you're not bright enough to grasp his meaning? Here, let me translate: although Santorum is aware he's not a rock star, he's confident he'll be a good President.
How's that? Better?
“That is admirable.”
Oh goodie, you broke down and threw him a bone.
Santorum bested Newt {and I'm not the only one who knows so} when the latter said Rick couldn't handle the scope of the Presidency. Rick got him good. And THAT'S ability.
