I’m really not at all happy that the accidental candidate is viable.
Believe it or not, the vast majority of voting Americans see Santorum as a religious zealot with nothing else to offer.
Obama’s headed for a landslide.
Nothing personal. Just the truth.
But enjoy your night.
I see things quite differently. Here's why.
Those who voted for Obama out of white guilt have already paid their dues. What happened in 2008 won't occur again. That debt has been cleared.
The economy is Obama's albatross. The Republicans need only pound home just how bad Thanksgiving and Christmas 2011 were. All across America, stores were empty (or shuttered). Holiday meals were meager and children didn't get the Christmas gifts they wanted. Massive unemployment scars the landscape from coast to coast.
That dreary picture is now compounded by soaring gasoline prices with no turnaround in sight. Job growth is non-existent because of Obama's campaign against the well-to-do who create the employment opportunities.
Furthermore, the gloves will be off in the 2012 election. Unlike 2008, the Republicans can and will (thanks to Citizens United) bombard the airwaves with advertising showing Obama's links to black radicals and to domestic terrorists.
While I won't engage in hyperbole stating that Mickey Mouse can easily defeat Obama, this election offers a tremendous opportunity for our most Conservative candidate to eject the current corrupt regime.
You've expressed my own sentiments perfectly in those lines. Out of respect for the Ricksters here I will not go into the specifics of his shortcomings, but he is a fatally flawed candidate.
What a fine mess. One viewed as a religious zealot and the other is a Mormon which maybe a third could view as a cult?
I hope we have a brokered convention that nominates Newt Gingrich: solutions, visionary and leader. We should be voting for our next ADULT Commander-in-Chief!
Like TBF said, the James Dobson crowd, votes and they are largely Santorum voters (AL & MS) but are they enough of a voter block to win a general election? I'm thinking, no.
