Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum might have gotten a boost in the polls Thursday morning just by appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" — at least, according to Rev. Al Sharpton. During the interview Santorum was challenged by Sharpton, who hosts another talk show on MSNBC, on how he would handle a crisis better than President Obama.

Sharpton, a Democrat and long-time champion of liberal causes, joked that their on-air debate would actually lead to an increase in Santorum's support and momentum in Iowa.

"I can argue with you about some of your ugly statements on the president and all of that, but that would probably help you in the primarily if you and I got in an argument this morning," said Sharpton before asking his question.

"Go head, Al. Give it to me, Al," responded Santorum, laughing.

"Well, you said some despicable and ugly things, but we'll do that on 'Politics Nation' one night, don't let me help you win the caucus," added Sharpton, referring to his own TV show.

OK, Rita, I see your point. But I think you’re wrong about why Sasntorum went on Sharpton’s show. It certainly wasn’t to court MSNBC viewers, who don’t vote in GOP primaries. It was to put a slap-down on Huckster Sharpton.

Be that as it may....I’m a Newt guy, so I have no agenda to support Santorum. I could live with him, but I feel strongly that Newt is our best hope.

Best,
Hank

Newt - Santorum?

Mitt - Santorum?

This Santorum guy is dynamite VP material. Keep the "Conservatives" happy, Maybe keep Mitt or Newt honest.

President? Naah. Not yet.

This Mombasa MF ain't as easy to beat as everybody around here thinks, pal. Women, Blacks, Homos, Hispanics, Jews and the "Young," and (some massive Fraud here and there) he's got those big states in the bag. 16 NRA members in Idaho ain't gonna get this done.

BTW, in regard to Santorum, where's his PROGRAM and PLAN? I already know how bad The Mombasa MF is.

An affidavit by Kareem Brunner, a black security guard killed in the blaze, said that he had been called a “cracker lover” and “would get mine as a traitor [to the black race].” Brunner, was the only black that Smith did not order out of the store before setting it afire.

Can we assume this was considered to be 'not a racial incident'?
