Frankly, when the Presidential election rolls around, we probably will have $5 -$6 dollar a gallon gasoline, and a war with Iran.
I think a ham sandwich could beat Obama, the Kenyan.
If Santorum puts a heavyweight like Newt on as his V.P., then he’ll have a solid chance selling himself, just as Cheney helped shore up doubts about Bush. Since Romney and Paul are teamed up, we have to remember that if we go into the convention undecided, Santorum will need to get delegates from someone. It may come down to whether Romney + Paul’s delegates outnumber Rick + Newt’s. And in that scenario we are currently behind the 8-ball, losing the popular vote 1.4 million to 1.2 million so far (119 to 79 in delegates). Rick and Newt need to start walking away with a combined over 50% vote in states. They’ve both been doing awful in “blue” states while either Paul or Romney perform respectably in purple/red states.
The game has changed and with Romney and Paul teamed up, it’s not going to be enough for Santorum just to “win states.” Both him and Newt’s delegates combined need to beat Romney and Paul’s combined. And probably by a wide margin to account for the “stealth” delegates Paul’s people are reportedly sneaking in “pledged” to Rick or Newt.
