I think it was a big set up by the media, Romney and Santorum was told about the big push against Newt Gingrich in the debate.
Only problem for them it backfired. Newt got the upper hand from the start. Romney saw what happened (the people standing O) and backed away, partly, from the big attack but Santorum being young and inexperienced didn’t see what happened and continued to dig a whole for himself.
Now the media are playing defense and looking even more like the Dimwitts Romwitts that they are.
Thanks for your post - germaine to our subject - not a Bible lesson.
