So says the leftist media. I don't see it. His numbers got the usual January bump...he got them the last two years, too. People get temporarily optimistic. His numbers are back down into the low to mid 40s. Romney beats him head to head, even in the middle of a bruising primary. Unless we see real economic recovery, he'll lose. I do think he has increased his chances in the last 2-3 months due to the GOP House and Senate's awful PR capabilities. With tepid growth and high unemployment and underemployment, it is a long shot.
I like Santorum, and would vote for Newt, but the birth control mandate ended any chance of a Catholic getting into the POTUS. By saying that employers have to pay for birth control, Obambi sewed up the female vote. He already had the minority vote, and that pretty much ended any chance of Mitt not being the nominee.
It is still a ways out, but we as conservatives need to stop screaming in the echo chamber and actually start planning the next move.
