“I think Santorum’s surge is one that will stick because the more people look at him and how he’s lived his life the more they will like him.”
This is exactly why he is not the leader we need right now. Obama was elected for superficial reasons. The same goes for Santorum. There’s no meat here. We finally have a candidate in Newt that represents a cross section of the electorate, and can articulate where we’ve been a nation and where we should go. Santorum’s time will come, but not now.
Newt is confident still. That’s good. That makes me feel better. He knows that in time he will prevail. All it will take for something to happen from within or from without.
I predict that something major will happen in the world that affects our country, similar to the Iranian hostage crisis during Carter, but worse. Only Newt will articulate what we should do.
Only Newt will appear the true leader.
Time will tell, however, I do feel that Santorum is the flavor of the month. I watched his speech at CPAC. I did not hear one specific. Remember, Santorum endorsed Romney in 2008. To me, that was all I needed to know about him. If Rick were to get out now, he would probably support Romney, for the possibility of a VP slot. I am sorry, but this guy is just too “look at me” to be a realistic candidate. I looked, I researched, he is just another go along to get along candidate. Rick did too many deals with the democRATS when he was in the Senate. Rick backed too many liberal notions, unions, and especially minimum wage legislation.
It wouldn’t surprise me that he has already made a deal with Romney for that VP slot as soon as he can force Mr. Newt out. I am very leery of this guy. Sorry.
