Geez...just when I was beginning to believe the Gingrich guys when they said that Rick wasn’t electable! ;-) NOT!
Can this be a "miracle?" The miracle that people can actually see now for themselves who is actually "better" (in their opinion) and stick to their "convictions?"... w/o being swayed by any kind of media or know-it-alls opinions?...
Well... there is hope! :)... CONGRATULATIONS People!
Politicians are not "saints" and social-conservatives should not look for one (remember Carter?...), but yes, character, convictions and the way they conduct their own lives... should matter to a point!... That is why I forgave Newt or GWB on their past indiscretions... etc etc..
I believe that both Reagan and Clinton were WAY BEHIND Carter and Papa Bush respectively at this point in time in the election cycle. But by how much?
Santorum, at close to just 4 points of Obama seems to be doing better than Reagan and Clinton did ( believe Reagan and Clinton were WAY BEHIND by double digits then ).
One of Santorum’s problems is partisan supporters like you.
It’s not a funny game or a sport challenge which is going on before our eyes.
I supported Gingrich but i wish the best to Santorum and hope that one of them could defeat Obama with strong arguments .
Hope, i am not sure , that Santorum could be tough enough to unmask Obama’s agressive rethoric
