just the opposite ... Santorum’s responses the these “controversies” have actually made me like him better, and I am hoping the CNN moderator can’t help himself and asks Santorum something about this a lot in the debate tonight
Misunderestimated is good.
Has anyone else noted they attacked Rick, and last cycle they always referred to Huckabee as a former Baptist Pastor. I have yet to see anyone in media to point out that Romney was Bishop in Mormon church and thus was a pastor in the mormon religion and that some of the peculiar beliefs that mormons hold that those in evangelical Christianity consider them in the “cult” category rather than Christian?
Hello Matt Drudge, how about that?
Santorum is on a roll and picking up steam. I like how he is fighting now where in the beginning when he was so far off the radar he sounded weak and whiney. He definitely has more of a presidential swagger than he ever did before and I like it!
If this is true welcome to 4 more years of Obama...
I just love it when the leftwing US news media try to tell us what is 'outside the mainstream'.
Who’s Matt Drudge?
I have to disagree with you. I admit the article is somewhat snarky, pointing out that the crowd was small and subdued. However, the quotes from Santorum sound very whiny and angry.
If they start bringing up religion then it’s fair game to bring up the Mormon beliefs that Romney embraces. Isn’t he a church elder? Turnabout is fair play.
Santorum’s Christian worldview is perfectly acceptable to most Americans and the Drudge attempt to twist it as “kooky” won’t work.
The GOP establishment can’t come out and stick a knife in Rick’s back because he played good soldier and went along in supporting Arlen Specter. If they backstab him now nobody will ever go along with that again. Instead they are forced to use surrogates.
We’ve just learned that Matt Drudge is a lousy hit man.
Good. A defiant response is exactly what is called for. No one will vote for a candidate who apologizes all the time.
Last line in the article: “The danger for Santorum? He risks alienating independent voters by keeping the focus on of some of his outside-the-mainstream remarks.”
Yeah, right, “outside-the-mainstream” of the average mainstream-media-journalist, that is; way outside. But maybe pretty mainstream when it come to the average American voter, eh?
The average journalist in this country, especially among the East/West Coasters, has no clue the impact religion has on the majority of people in this country, so they figure Santorum is just plain loon crazy to be defending himself, and picking on them while doing so. It’s a fight they’re not likely to win, and could cost them another few percent of their readership in their long, inevitable, slide to a profit-free, and salary-free, environment. Soon may it come.
