The race is down two candidates -- Newt or Romney. Santorum can only prevent Newt from beating Romney at this point.
“The race is down two candidates — Newt or Romney. Santorum can only prevent Newt from beating Romney at this point.”
Ditto.
“happy in his own skin!”
Out of the 1,000 words that could be used to describe Rick Santorum (Pharisitical being chief among them), happy certainly isn’t one of them. His attempts to sound passionate leave him with his default emotion, anger. He’s angry because he wants to be a dictator, just as his nephew said, he doesn’t think freedom works. Look for him to tank further, and further, and further. He only did well in Iowa because there was a concerted effort to influence people to vote for him, to knock out Ron Paul. That’s neither here nor there regarding Paul, but it explains the brief rise and inevitable fall of Santorum back to where he has always been, nearly dead last in the pack (Now he WILL be last, with Perry out).
Santorum’s radio rant would do him in if his pseudo-Cathlo-wahabi-ism didn’t already. He will stay in for maybe two or three more races (if that) and get out. If anyone is going to take Romney out, it will be Newt. Santorum was never, ever, ever, in the running. Ever.
Santorum’s own words:
“One of the criticisms I make is to what I refer to as more of a Libertarianish right.
They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do, government should keep our taxes down, keep our regulations low, and that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues. That is not how traditional conservatives view the world.”
