Game On
A Northeastern Catholic who has been getting badly outspent just won two more GOP primarys in the South.
Ever since Newt started talking about making colonies on the moon his campaign has totally collapsed. Santorum got absolutely crushed by double digits in a senate race here about 5 years ago. He had so little money...that just a few months ago he was going around selling Apricot Jelly in Iowa to raise money for his campaign there. He was so unorganized that he didn't even collect enough signatures to get his name on the ballot in Virginia (where he probably would have won) -- he also didn't get certified for delegates in a few counties in Ohio that he won. He basically had a game-changing win over Romney in Michigan in his grasp... and he takes the bait and starts talking sh!t about JFK and colleges. Santorum is basically that brand they call "compassionate conservatisim" ... the brand that was championed by George W. Bush and a brand that is almost a polar opposite of Ron Paul's politics. How is Santorum different than George W. Bush? He's far more likeable and respectable. He speaks better and is considerably smarter. However, he doesn't have a morsel of the money, connections, and prestige. Other than that, he's the same freaking guy. If Romney can't put away the Apricot Jelly salesman before the convention...it's safe to say he'll have no shot with Obama and a Mormon will never win a GOP nomination again. |
