“You realize that the poor showings for Santorum have nothing to do with his favorability ratings, but many voters have bought into the false notion that this is a two man race and that Gingrich was the perceived superior candidate due to SC and his debate performances (which went out the window with FL voters after the FL debates).”
Rick is very much liked. I hear so many callers to radio shows saying how they like him, from small local radio stations to Rush Limbaugh.
As for the debates, Rick did better than Newt, in some of them, particularly the last two, especially when he ripped into Romney about Romneycare.
I feel the same way, but all our little Republican primary voters seem to know is that it is Mitt’s turn, at least that what Dole, McPain, and Karl Rove tell them.
