I’m disappointed in Rick. He’s been in politics too long to make this kind of mistake and should know better. Zimmerman wasn’t arrested after the first investigation and now another one is taking place. A grand jury is being convened, so he should shut up or at least not fall for the race-baiter’s bait.
Santorum isn’t being reckless.
He needed to get the focus off his comment about Romney.
It’s working.
Besides the Zimmerman flap, Santorum has also backed off the Romney thing:

Not sure what Santorum and Newt said but this is a lose lose. Not like either of them is going to pick up either of these voters.
