Are you admitting you're not bright enough to grasp his meaning? Here, let me translate: although Santorum is aware he's not a rock star, he's confident he'll be a good President.
How's that? Better?
“That is admirable.”
Oh goodie, you broke down and threw him a bone.
Santorum bested Newt {and I'm not the only one who knows so} when the latter said Rick couldn't handle the scope of the Presidency. Rick got him good. And THAT'S ability.
Actually, I did not agree with that line of Newt’s attack on RS - at least to that degree.
And did RS get him good? Don’t know about that. Since that debate, it seems that Newt’s surge has continued and it seems RS has continued to sink in SC. We’ll know tonight.
Several pundits are of the opinion RS had a good debate. Others think he had an awful debate, becoming more “unlikeable.” I am in the latter camp. I would say that about 16% is the line of demarkation tonight. Above that, RS had a good debate. Below that, he had a bad debate.
