James Carville: Rick Santorum is headless chicken
Politico ^ | 4 Apr 2012 | MJ Lee

Posted on 04/04/2012 11:19:49 AM PDT by seanmerc

James Carville chose these colorful words to describe Rick Santorum after Mitt Romney swept three Republican primaries Tuesday: “He was like a chicken with his head chopped off. The chicken is dead. The only person that don’t know it is the chicken.”

The Democratic strategist, not known to mince his words, said in a late-night interview with CNN that Santorum “can flop around all he wants to [but] they’re not going to nominate him.”

Read about “Mike the Headless Chicken.”

Link: http://www.miketheheadlesschicken.org/story.php

Mike’s head was chopped off in 1945 and lived 18 months. Life Magazine did a feature on Mike.

Cute story. It makes for a good school report for your kids.

Carville is one of those rare people that actually looks like he sounds.

Republican Candidates could improve their Primary vote count by campaigning with the following idea:

Due to the FHA, Fannie and Freddie Bankruptcies of September, 2008, American home owners lost 30 % of the value of their homes. That is a 30 % cut in just one month. Home values are still down 30 %.

Thus, let us cut the total compensation to all elected Federal politicians, and their staffs by 30 %, and an additional 10 % cut to elected Federal politicians each year until Federal Spending is LESS THAN the average of the previous 2 years of Federal income.

BTW, since slightly less than half of the US House, and 2/3 of the US Senate are Millionaires, it will be a great opportunity for Congress to lead by example that EVERYONE should give up their “fair” share of the American Dream.

What better way can there be to demonstrate that Federal politicians are on the same page as the voters?

Rick is kinda embarrassing himself at this point. He has no chance to win and yet gave a speech as if we were at halftime of a competitive primary. I heard him on Laura Ingraham this morning saying he only lost Wisconsin by 4. This is completely untrue since Rick actually lost 44.1% to 36.9% for a margin of defeat of 7.2% - which is pretty much precisely what the last few polls suggested would be the result. Santorum is gaining no ground whatsoever and might not even be able to eke out a win in his home state of PA (the one that rejected him by 18 points the last time he ran as the sitting Senator).

Oh, how I love that folksy, Andy Griffith image that old Carville puts on. Well, if Andy Griffith was brainless and spineless.

He said, they’re not going to nominate him.

That’s either a true, or a false, prediction.

He didn’t say he never won, or that he won’t win, primaries.
