He lead national polls at one point, what do you call that? Just whilsting dixie? It's true he's had some gaffes but if he hadn't lost Michigan and Ohio because of Gingrich vote splitting, who knows. "It was doomed from the start" might make you feel better but it's nonsense. The sadder truth is it wasn't, his own misuces combined with the absurdity of another candidate staying in the race and splitting the vote combined to create our current situation of a more likley than not Romney nomination.
Rick is responsible for Rick.
he has gotten the biggest pass in the world,
Santorum can be blamed equally for splitting the vote. Had he dropped out when he was still at 2%, we would be able to argue that Newt Gingrich would be our nominee by now.
