be too hard for him to shelter. The media has built him up for nearly 2 weeks without any vetting. I mean vetting, not this stuff of his wife. His voting record and his K street business dealings. It is only fair to ask for him to be vetted, if you cannot see that, then you are falling into the media's trickery and are in for disappointment. We need to stop Mitt with the best person and one has not been vetted.
You have named my biggest worry about this sudden surge that doesn't seem to upset the press or the establishment at all while they were horrified when Newt surged.
Other than disagreeing with several of his votes, I don't know anything really nasty about Santorum and maybe there isn't anything to know which would be wonderful.**
However if there is something that is bad, it's a lot better if we know it now than in late October. It isn't that I'm suspicious of him necessarily, but why is no one attacking him--especially the one with the most to lose. Apparently Romney is planning to continue savaging Newt even while Santorum is his newest and (to hear the media tell) biggest threat. Why??? ________________
**Regarding an October surprise it doesn't matter if Santorum is pure and wonderful, the Regime will make something up.
I'm wondering if Mitt will hold out on his own vetting of Santorum until just before super Tuesday or until Rick threatens to take the needed amount of delegates and I wouldn't put it past him to make stuff up like he did and continues to do with Newt.
Let's see it now and see how Santorum handles it because if he can't handle Romney's attacks, he'll never handle ones from the left. I think Newt has figured it out and will be much more able to prevail. I just question whether Santorum is tough enough when the REAL arrows are coming his way.
