I've been trying very hard to like Rick Santorum, and I believe he is a good man. However, I was darned angry with him by the time the debate was half over.
Early in the debate, Santorum made it a point to say that he could beat Obama and he was going to make his campaign ABOUT Obama ... then he proceeded to trash and whine about how bad Newt was in congress, how nobody's support of life was a strong as his ... blah, blah, whine, trash.
Santorum is desperate, and he sure as heck showed it. Yes, he needed to score some points or his campaign is over. Florida is next and a very expensive state to cover and in which to buy media spots. Santorum has no money and has to count on getting some quick.
I can't imagine that Santorum's own family was proud of the angry little man syndrome on display. Ron Paul even looked like he felt Santorum's pain, as he grimaced when Santorum would go off on Newt.
Looks like it's going to be Newt for me. I've already donated to the campaign because I wanted to give him a chance, but these last 2 debates have got me excited and we'll be donating again this week. I can't vote for or support Romney or Ron Paul ... not in an eon.
He sounded whiny when he was 1 of 8 or so and I could sympathize with that. But he’s still the same Santorum after it’s down to 4 and after it turned out that he really did win Iowa.
