Here we go!
If Santorum can KEEP the conversation on economics, he has a fighting chance. He will have to unveil, in detail, an economic plan which will appeal to all sectors of the GOP and the independents...and then he will have to pitch it with blue collar appeal to Reagan D’s, sort of a subgroup of indys. Fortunately, THAT is one thing that Santorum has historically done well.
But if this becomes an election about contraception, and obviously obama will try that, it is going to be difficult for Santorum.
The other interesting thing is that if Santorum can hold the 60% of Catholics that are ticked at obama, and if he can win PA - and both of those would seem to be sort of natural for him - but if he can do that, he “might” have a fighting chance against obama in the general. Just maybe...but it will be brutal.
(if, of course, Santorum is the nominee...).
“60% of Catholics that are ticked at obama”
I saw a poll citing 75%.
IF they all vote against Obama, he’s toast.
