It always makes me laugh when a Gingrich supporter attacks Santorum for an “uncontrollable mouth”. As if “uncontrollable mouth” wasn’t the thing that is most getting in Gingrich’s way of winning this nomination.
Gingrich not only says crazy things, he also has the problem of saying GOOD things in a way that makes it easy for his opponents to mischaracterize them.
Remember “Medicare Withering On The Vine”? In context, a rational idea, but the way he said it, pretty much sunk our ability to fix Medicare — if you believe we ever had a chance.
A cautionary tale for those who think only Santorum says things that can be mischaracterized.
Sorry, but I think it's way worse to stand up before a crowd and proudly proclaim, "I'm not a visionary and I'm not a manager".
This country needs both of those qualities in a leader if we are to overcome the damage Obama has done.
