Santorum has become the ‘not’ candidate.
He is not Mitt ‘I have been on every side of every issue’ Romney.
He is not Newt ‘I have a trainload of baggage’ Gingrich.
He is not Ron ‘I would isolate the USA from the rest of the world’ Paul.
Right now, that puts Santorum in a good position. It will be interesting to see, in the coming week, how he holds up to the attack ads. He is challenging Romney in Michigan and Gingrich in Georgia, their ‘home turfs’.
Gingrich may have become over confident a few weeks ago when he announced that he would be the nominee. Of course, Santorum, or any of the candidates, could still have a ‘macaca’ moment, a Deaniac scream, a Muskie tear-fest, and sink to the bottom.
Post of the morning!
However, I don't think Santorum would be as effectual debater against obambi as Newt would be. But hey, he looks better than Newt to the squishy independents, and that's sadly important in this age of "cult of personality". I believe Mitten's good looks and big smile is the only thing that has carried him this far.
May help him in the primaries. Will evaporate in the general. Nobody outside the gop club gives a whit about who he is "Not."
