Romney/Obama -
Obama wins because in a contest between moderate socialism and real socialism, real socialism wins every time. Obama wins, but it’s close.
Gingrich/Obama
Gingrich loses because he supports global warming, has no connection to the base of the party, and makes Obama look good in being married to one woman and staying married to her, etc.
Obama wins in a landslide.
Santorum/Obama -
This is Obama’s worst matchup. Why? Santorum is Catholic and has support from evangelicals. Santorum gets the vote out in the heartland. This we saw last night. The folks who voted for Bush and voted for Reagan are willing to back Santorum.
This is why the knives are going to come out against Santorum by the Axelrod folks. Because they absolutely must have Gingrich/Romney as the nomination ‘contest’ because either way they win.
