Rick Santorum predicted Monday on the eve of the Wisconsin primary that he may “sneak in and have an upset.”
“We feel good that we’re going to have a good result here in Wisconsin — we’re going to have a strong showing, maybe even sneak in and have an upset,” Santorum said from Green Bay, Wis., in an interview with Fox News. “But either way, we’ll have a strong showing in the face of obviously overwhelming money and overwhelming establishment support [for Romney].”
The former Pennsylvania senator, who is trailing Romney in the delegate race, was dismissive of the increasing GOP establishment support for his rival.
“I think he’s been saying that for a long, long time,” Santorum said of Romney’s most recent predictions that he will be the eventual Republican nominee. “And we’re still here. We just won the last state by 23 points. For someone who’s the eventual nominee – that’s — and by the way, being outspent, and being outspent pretty everywhere we go and yet we’re still hanging in there.”
He added, “The establishment is trying to shove Mitt Romney down the throats of conservatives and tea party folks and hopefully they’ll stand up and say, ‘Nope, the message of 2010 is just as viable now and we need a strong conviction principled conservative.’”
The most recent poll shows Romney leading Santorum in Wisconsin by 7 percentage points, while another survey last week showed the same gap between the two. (Snip)

So what? noob.
You just signed in today to tell us that?
This psyop will only work if we let it.
BTW, if Romney is so conservative, then how do the liberal states know to vote for him? lol
It does us absolutely not good to replace Obama with ORomnaba. We get nowhere on saving the country. We do not even get better judges out of it. That is, if Romney could even win. The Dim with the D beats the Dim with the R every time.
Can you please send this message on, Laz?
Senator Ron Johnson’s decision to endorse Mitt Romney may be backfiring. The comments on his Facebook page are 95% negative. Please call his local WI. campaign office to add your voice;

That being said, I don't think PSYCHO-FREEP has been particularly unfair and nowhere near as hyper-partisan as the Newtbots who still think their guy can win.
If Rick doesn't pull off an upset or at least come close in Wisconsin tomorrow, then I'm afraid the negative momentum could carry into Pennsylvania. If Rick loses here in PA, I think his political career is over and that would be a tragedy. If he suspends his campaign gracefully should the expected happen tomorrow night in Wisconsin, I think he starts 2016 as the front runner. And there's not a whole lot the GOP-e can do about it.
You cornered him. He is a phony with a separate agenda....BTW, the WISCONSIN base is ON FIRE for Rick Santorum tomorrow! Hold on to your hats!
Well, he is either Ann or Sybil. He keeps bouncing around from one person to another, one idea to another, hates Santorum and now appears to be for Romney but used to be for Newt and an open convention.
Then he has the nerve to label others as delusional or not expert enough to appreciate his fine political skills.
geesh LOL
He's just posturing now.
Hard to tell, since it was Santorum who convicted the guy of "malicious acts" without so much as a trial. Damn those inconvenient truths.
Posting histories verify these inconsistencies when it comes to said false-flag disrupter, and closet shill for Mitt on FR all along...
Santorum is down 7% or 8% depending on the WI poll. He’s blowing smoke.
I thought it was of interest to know that apparently these idiots are convinced that voting Santorum is going to hurt the GOP, in Wisconsin, anyway.
Santorum? The same guy who already wants to put Zimmerman in the electric chair? LOL
Just what we need. Another guy in the White House who ignores our rule of law.
I’m beginning to think all politicians are self-serving idiots.
Bump
BTW, if Romney is so conservative, then how do the liberal states know to vote for him? lol
Isn’t THAT funny? And we know the liberal states will stay red in the fall... Whoops!

I’ve thought that too. Right now I need him to do well just in the wild hope that we might escape the Rominee Inevitabilum.
Just between you and me - I won’t tell anybody - how much is Mitt Romney paying you?
Anyway, Romney is losing money paying you, as you are actually helping Rick with your transparency.
“Santorum could actually “sneak” a victory here.”
I wouldn’t be that surprised, because Rick Santorum has “surprised” us before, and he often underpolls.
