Replay of 2008
Santorum=Huckabee the religious right/Catholics (inflamed by Obamas attack on the birth control issue) plus pumped up tactically by Dems and Indies. Santorum can never be President.
Romney still has the 22% he got last time, pumped up by Dems/Indies where appropriate, drowns out competition with weight of money. Perfect target for Obama. Mr 1%
Newt=Thompson. Rational right. Is only one that can beat Obama. Is the only candidate to have proved he is Constitutionally legally qualified to be President. Would be great to have Sarah Palin as his VP.
Your outline is an outline in FUTILITY. And damned sure correct! (2008 all over again)
I’ve thought of posting the same before...this primary is just like the last...1/3 GOP-e ‘Big Gov’t.’, 1/3 Big Gov’t Christian Socialist, and 1/3 rational Conservatives.
If the choice is between Mitt and Rick, I’d pick Mitt..and I am a Gingrich supporter/donor.
I consider a man’s religion as part of the whole of the man...to determine his ‘moral’ nature if you will...but I, and many Americans, get turned off when it becomes a central theme of his candidacy. We are not electing a National Priest here. I don’t begrudge anyone their religion, but feel religion is a purely personal phenomenon and not a staple of a presidential campaign. ‘Faith, family, freedom’? Really?
Personally I’d rather the platform be ‘Economy, employment and energy’.
