Much as I would like a Santorum presidency, can he really get masses of Americans behind him the way Romney could ? I choose to withhold celebrations until I am convinced that Santorum can get mainstream Americans to place their faith in his plans to permanently solve the unemployment crisis, lower our debt and make our economy as stable as it was in the 80s and 90s. It’s been official for a while now that Americans by and large care about that WAY more than anything else, including terror threats.
If no one is massing around Romney in his own party, how is he going to get anyone behind him in the general?
Just go through some of these swing states and add Newts and Ricks numbers compared to Milts. Milt cannot even consolidate his base for crying out loud.
Santorum has a message that resonates with middle class voters. He is winning these people in elections. He also has very high favorables even though the MSM and the GOPe is slamming him as a puritanical religious zealot.
