This is a bunch of nonsense. Santorum was in Gettysburg the other night, and the entire South Central PA area turned out for him. The town square was packed and not everyone could get into his venue because of the size of the crowd.
BTW, bankrupt, Rat-run Harrisburg is one of the four relatively isolated liberal claptraps in the Commonwealth.
Stewart is a Gleason buttboy who probably loves the choice of Obama-voting Steve Welch for the GOP Senate nomination in 2012.
“Santorum was in Gettysburg the other night, and the entire South Central PA area turned out for him.”
Just curious—Why couldn’t he get re-elected in PA then?
Why? the majority of voters said no to Newt. They don’t like him.
They can’t get the images of his liberal bent of the last years from their minds. His authoritarian personality is a turnoff.
People just view Newt as a spoiler that has soundly lost but won’t admit it.
Outisde of the Pittsburgh and Philly area PA is pretty conservative. The GOP candidate wins the state by about 250,000, then loses Philly County by about 400,000.
This carpetbagger is voting for Newt!
Several factors. First, 2006 was a bad year for pubbies in general. Second, the MSM launched a full broadside of attacks against him - some of which have been shamelessly and uncritically re-used by his opponents on FR. And third, the Dems finally ran an ostensible pro-lifer against Santorum - Bob Casey Jr. might be weak-chinned, but his father was about the last great pro-life Dem, and pro-life Dems remembered the name. Throw all of those together and the deck was stacked against Santorum in 2006.
Like Illinois, the PA Delegate Selection is a Loophole Primary.
Why? Because of Pittsburgh and Philly. And also because of the voter fraud that goes on in those cities. Most of the rest of the state is conservative. Hopefully, with the new voter ID law passed recently, the ‘dead voters’ won’t come back.

When Newt said he was happy to see Rick “pull back that comment”I was reminded of the Sunday School lesson about a
little girl who told stories about other people. So her mom —as an object lesson had her pick a dandy lion-gone to seed—and blow the grey puffball to the wind. Then told her gather up all those seed again. When the little girl said “but momma that’s impossible.” Her momma agreed and said when you say things about others it’s like that dandy lion -gone to seed. Once you say it you can’t get it back. I for one agree with the sentiment that Romney is so like Obama a vote for Romney would only continue the evil empire of Maobama(and Soros at the strings) And “taking back” such is futile.for it suggests those things said don’t mean squat.
The last presidential election Philadelphia had more votes than registered voters. Don’t tell me there was not massive voter fraud!

Santorum is the one who volunteered this: “You win by giving people a choice. You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who’s just going to be a little different than the person in there. If they’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate for the future."

Santorum was the one who clarified because of blowback: “I would never vote for Barack Obama over any Republican and to suggest otherwise is preposterous. I was simply making the point that there is a huge enthusiasm gap around Mitt Romney and it’s easy to see why — Romney has sided with Obama on healthcare mandates, cap-and-trade, and the Wall Street bailouts.”
Voter fraud in Philadelphia.
Do you see any consensus emerging about any of the GOP alternatives to Steve Welch? The only one I see even running advertising out here is Smith.
The one good thing is that Gleason has left a bad taste in the mouths of Philly-area Republicans, and that could hurt Welch down this way.
I am tired of defending Rick. He seems unable to check his mouth and says the dumbest things anymore.
Who to vote for? Are these the best the GOP can scare up? Where is the best and brightest? Where are the firebrand,rock-ribbed conservatives? These guys running has to be the most un-appealling bunch this conservative has ever seen.
Think Dole,Ford,McCain on steriods. These goofballs could screw up a cup of coffee. And When Mitt gets the nod, it will spell the end of the GOP and the republic.
Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.
