Santorum is bombing! So this will not be his night!

Actually he seems really tired.

Southerners respect grace under pressure...but Rick is tarrrred. And it shows.

[lonevoice]

I didn’t know Santorum was from a coal mining town in PA. Had no idea he had seven children either.

Did you know John Kerry served in Viet Nam? :-)

[Christie at the beach]

Rick says that he is running for president because of Obamacare. It was a hard decision with having 7 kids. He has bold plans on energy. He is using a lot of Newt’s words and phrases.

[caww]

He's not from a coal mining town...he was raised in Butler, Fleabag town, PA.....and rarely associates with it unless it helps his career.....

Make no mistake...everyone in pa knows Rick will come downon whatever issue bests moves his career....and a history of doing just that...he will do like wise if he gets into WAshington....his ego is much like OBamas he just has a Boyish look.

[EnglishCon]

Of course he has a plan - he has printed out newt.org.

So has Romney, though he will never act on it.

The Reagan mantle has been invoked. I am SO looking forward to Speaker Gingrich’s speech, since he is gonna respond, not run a canned speech.

LATimes - Santorum tries to lower expectations ahead of Southern primaries

What would he do without Newt Gingrich to emulate?

He used to call him his mentor. Now he just steals his stuff.

Don’t throw up if he quotes the Founders, like Newt “used to do” originally.. I believe here it comes.......

[caww]

That might just as well be Newt standing there whispering in his ear.....good grief it’s obvious...you’d think he’d have at least his own verbage...

[Christie at the beach]

He just thanked the Tea Party after saying apart of that wing of the Tea Party was not coming to Washington..remember—boy, he is really stealing Newt’s words. Unreal...that people cannot see through this..

Their words can NEVER be repeated often enough.

Bingo!

[trappedincanuckistan]

his head shaking routine is annoying

[A. Morgan]

This guy is all over the place .. with a cut and paste speech!

[AGreatPer]

"Santorum was from a coal mining town in PA."

I have no idea exactly what town he is from. But if it was Butler it is not true. Butler, like he said, has always been industrial. From making street cars for the nation to making Pullman train cars and a few steel mills around.
Butler is NOT a coal mining area.

[caww]

Of course he has a plan - he has printed out newt.org.

Hain't that the truth! Oh gosh he did quote the founders!!!!! He's hard to listen to and putting all the emotion into it he can muster....unconvinsing.....he's trying to deliver and it shows he's trying....

[onyx]

Half hour is already gone!

[Christie at the beach]

What is his plans to get the economy going?

he just talks about things in a broad view, okay..

[RoosterRedux]

I always read your comments with anticipation but please tell me that your name isn't inspired by what I always visualize when I see it...Gov Chris Christie running shirtless with his dog on the Joisey Shore.

;-)

I always think, he if falls...tsunami all the way to the Poconos!!!
