Perry and Newt are for amnesty and not just for grandmothers. They both had no business being in this race. New got clobbered in FL and lost big time in every single major demographic in a must win state. He has since never recovered. His is simply unelectable and has never been able to shake off his sky-rocketing negatives and his Grand Canyon-size gender gap. His own “southern strategy” went up in smoke. Why he continues to be a spoiler and help Romney is beyond comprehension. Perry got TKO’d in debate after debate. The only viable alternative to Romney is Santorum. Want evidence? Election results do matter. Go check the states he’s won and doing so on a shoestring budget and is now besting Obama in four core states. Time for the disappointed Newties to call off their anti-Santorum jihad and wake up to the reality.
You are flat out wrong on that but you have decided you need to return to it in some sick way. The only reason the Establishment hasn't taken Rick out is that they aren't finished using him to call for the only conservative left in the primary, Newt Gingrich, to withdraw. But hey! Rick is too busy following Newt's lead on the issues -- since Rick doesn't have enough conservative bones in his body to hold himself up for comparison to real conservatism.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a political cartoon of a dummy that looks like Rick Santorum, with Newt making his lips move and giving him his talking points.
