Mini0bama hasn't a gnat's a$$ chance in he!! of defeating a greater socialist.
None of the four do, except Newt, IMO. Thus, my goal would be for the race to stay muddied until Newt can rally - IF he can rally - and I am not sure whether or not that is possible. So no, I am not in a rush to promote Santorum too fast because I think a Santorum nomination damns us to the following possible outcomes:
A: he is totally rejected by the American public because in a two man race his pettiness and snarkiness and self righteousness cannot be hidden the way it was in an 8 person field and therefore we have an absolute disaster in November 2012
B: he wins the Presidency because Obama is weak, but governs as GWB without the charm, damning us to higher spending and congressional losses and a disaster in 2014 and again 2016 where we get the next Obama.
No real country again for at least 20 years or more.
I’m sorry, that’s how I see it with Santorum. In other words, for the rest of the life expectancy of many on FR, the nation is screwed. Just cannot get on board with that now.
