Actually, Rick’s 06 campaign was full of his own evil. He swerved WAY LEFT to try and make folks think that Rickie could “be a good little moderate and liberal too.”
I noticed Newt and also Chuck Norris are starting to hit that theme softly this week. Might be too late, but they have finally woken up.
You’re correct that Santorum tried to veer to the centre, which was a mistake. His opponent played the charade of being pro-life, which removed the key distinction that Santorum had against his opponents in his first two victories. He also suffered from his support for Specter and the general backlash against Bush. It was a perfect storm that brought Santorum down, some of which was his own doing, but I don’t think there was anyone who could have held that seat in those circumstances.
The only way to get Rick out of the race now is to get Donald Trump to endorse him. That's the kiss of death. ;)
Your hatred of Rick borders on strange !
Your memory of 2006 is wrong.
The entire GOP was wiped out due to the Mark Foley October surprise by Brian Ross and his left wing Crewe !
Secondly the brilliant Rove strategy of letting the DNC and their media pals trash Bush and the Iraqi War for years with no counter attack !

“Earmark” Rick’s plans include a “special” tax rate but only for manufacturing (read: union industries that vote demoncrat) blue-collar jobs to bring them back from overseas -
Easier said than done - and a huge “big government” approach - like Neutral with his millions of fantasy “Big Solutions” (like “Colonies On The Moon to mine for bs and lunar bat guano”) that never materialize - while it is unsafe to walk through many parts DC, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, ATLANTA, and RICHMOND -
The train may have left and Ron Paul is leaving them in the dust in many states -
- and I am no Ron Paul supporter - but he would actually make a real dandy (appointed) TREASURY CZAR.....
