Rick Santorum surprised the pundits and he got his support because he rolled up his sleaves and worked hard and reached the people. And the people in Iowa honored and respected that, in addition of course to seeing his strong conservative positions.
And all of America saw it on display.
I hope he surges elsewhere and has the organization and the money to go on from here and continue. I will donate to him in order to help.
He gave a great speech at the end and I believe he will continue to garner support. Bachman should throw in behind him...Perry may have an outside chance starting in South Carolina, but at this point it would be great to see him throw in behind Rick Santorum as well.
If that happened, then by the time we reach South Carolina it will be a race between Gingrich (who is sounding more angy and vengeful...which will also serve to help Santorum as he goes into pure attack mode and Rick continues to reach the people)...anyhow you will end up with Rick and Gingrich really battling it out in South Carolina and Romney third there.
Then comes Florida and that will be the real test and bellweather in my opinion.
I did not like at all when Santorum threw in behind Spectre and threw Toomey under the bus. That still really bothers me at a deep level...but outside of that and some of his votes for earmakrs, Santorum has been solid in most other areas conservatively and will get the Tea Party backing.
We shall see.
I know this, any of them (outside of Paul's foreign policy) would be orders of magnitude better than Obama, the avowed marxist who is openly destroying the free market and the pillars of the Republic as we watch. We literally, IMHO, cannot afford and perhaps not survive as a constitutional republic based on fundamental moral values with another four years of his damage.
Good Post.
Willard could finish 4th in South Carolina despite Nikki’s endorsement!!
I see Perry and Gingrich doing well in SC.
