“If Newt suddenly bombs you will regret Santorum having dropped out of the race. “
Santorum can’t win even if he’s the last one in. He’s too green. They’d get someone else in that situation.
See post 145. Oh, and allow me to add this quote from the same 1966 LAT article cited there:
In what appeared to be repeated allusions to Reagan, who has never held public office, Christopher said Republicans “should ask themselves now what experience does the candidate have to hold the office of governor.”
“It’s going to be a difficult race at best. But when all the glamour has worn off, the man elected will be a very lonely man and it will be a very intense job, because if we lose I dare say we shall not recoup for 20 years or more.”
