Unbelievable.
(IF this story is accurate considering the source.)
So with everything going on in this country, Santorum continues to pound this issue to death.
This guy's strategy is stupid.

I don't know what else you'd call it except pandering.
Full disclosure: I am Catholic.

At this point, we need a candidate who is clearly focused on stating the the most important problems facing our country, and explaining how he would go about solving them, not just whining about the other guys, or going off on sidebar topics.

Newt is the only guy constantly clearly stating the problems and how he would go about solving them.

I hope my fellow Alabamians do the right thing next Tuesday and vote for Newt.

I can’t decide if he is a ringer, that clueless, or wants to fall gloriously upon a political sword and feel very noble in the aftermath. Meh. I’ll vote for him if he is the nominee, but I am not going to help put him in that position.

I agree...Santorum is not going to win with this kind of strategy. I mean, he knows or ought to know exactly what Kennedy meant. Moreover, his remark about France is odd since given the many connections between church and state over there (e.g., government authority over religious schools).

I find it more than a bit interesting — even amazing — that some recent exit polls show Rick has usually been losing the Catholic vote. The only folks he seems consistently to win are the “formerly anti-Popish” Evangelicals. Go figure!

This guy’s strategy is stupid.

I think he is doing perfectly. 7 states find him the perfect candidate. 13 states find him the runner up as the perfect candidate. Not bad out of 23 states. He has the most gold and silvers. Most states agree with him.

I am Catholic, Santorum’s issue (Well one of them anyway) is that he is just completely incapable of articulating his social conservative stands in a way that doesn’t make him look and sound like a radical or a kook as often as not.

Santorum got beaten to death in 06, and lost by 17 points because he has and continues to this very day, provide sound bite after sound bite of him saying things that just utterly unacceptable to the majority of folks.

He doesn’t have the intellect or the oratory skills to defend his social conservative stands in a reasonable way. Yes if you listen to the breadth of a comment he makes its usually not to bad, but inside that breadth is a sentence or two that can be taken as a sound bite and makes him look completely outside the mainstream.

Santorum won’t change his stripes folks, and he’s not going to get any better at articulating his stands... he’s a disaster waiting to happen,.

Santo has a stinking law degree and a MBA. You'd think his root cause analysis of this country's problems would come up with something other than sin every now and then.
