“Fell flat”???? Not only did Santorum most likely win in Iowa, he came in ahead of Newt in New Hampshire. Stop assuming that Newt can win...he’s got too many skeletons the DNC will have a field day with to be even considered as a nominee. His numbers dropped like a stone in Iowa and beyond which should be fair warning of things to come.
Rick’s numbers are dropping in South Carolina, which is a state that has far more bearing on who our nominee is than Iowa or New Hampshire. Iowa has always been iffy and New Hampshire was Romney’s from the start.
If Willard takes SC and FL, we may as well concede the nomination to him. If you think the drive-by media’s Romney lovefest is suffocating, just wait ‘till you see how they blanket the airwaves with flowery portrayals of their golden boy after he takes the “deciding” states.
You know what? Rick Santorum is the better conservative. There, I said it. Look at the Iowa results thread and see how excited I was to see him doing so well. The problem is that he’s failed to capitalize on his victory. He’s too timid and comes across as somewhat bland.
If he was the frontrunner, I’d be supporting him instead. I’d be glad to dump Newt for someone who really cares about America’s moral decline.
