Look you've got a ‘Senator’ who knew running for Pres. would be advantageous for his political career path...he never thought he'd come this far and certainly wasn't prepared for it. What makes you even imagine he's prepared to run this country, move a congress who he has very few supporting him, take on the Obama Machine who hasn't even begun to cut loose on him, and somehow go up against the formidable debate Bo's team will have for BO to deliver.
Santorum can't do the job ahead...he's not prepared and his hype we see is trying somehow to show that he is...
There's only one man that has the possibility of beating obama, the republican elites, liberals and move the congress...and with a plan he knows how to activate..and that's Newt...there simply is no other.
Santorum has a political career ahead of him no matter the outcome so he's going to play this to his advantage. Newt has nothing to loose...this is His time.
Romney is actually a better communicator than Santorum. Santorum was flirting with some potentially good points, but totally missed the mark several times by not giving the right background information and not hitting home key points. If you’re an educated conservative, you could infer what he was getting at, but if you’re Joe Q. Public you’re not going to know what he was talking about and either zone out or just think he was BS’ing. The questioner who praised Santorum at the end actually inserted terms and explanations into Santorum’s answer that Santorum never said himself. The version of the answer he gave was better than Santorum’s but he gave Santorum credit for stuff he didn’t say.
Romney is getting better at BS’ing and becoming more Clintonian, which is dangerous. He’s becoming a better campaigner, and obviously more talented than Santorum, who has no chance to defeat Romney in the primary now. It was sickening how Romney multiple times referred to what the polls or the American people would say when justifying his policies, even on policies which should stand solely on moral ground like supporting the troops. It shows how dangerously Clintonian he is, that he will enact whatever policies are popular with the public on any given day.
Newt was solid as usual, with quality, substantive answers. He got some bad questions though. A couple times people clearly seemed to be reciting a prepared question, even though Newt’s earlier answers were so detailed that they already covered that ground. So his time was spent on some redundant points. What a dumb question asking him how he could say gas would be “exactly” $2.50, as if anyone with a clue couldn’t figure out that is just a ballpark figure.
Totally disagree. I think if Santorum gets the nomination people will rally to his side and work for his election. He's smart, young, optimistic, and has character.
If he can get the nomination with all the hate, bad press, character assasination, etc. that's been thrown at him, then Obama will be a cake-walk.
