Do you think that if either Santorum or Gingrich was the GOP nominee right now we would be happy with where we were?
Would we have a good, solid, across-the-board conservative candidate?
Would our candidate be more popular, and more admired, and doing better in the polls than Romney is now?
Would the leftist attacks against our nominee be as ineffective and failing as they are now?
Would the focus of the campaigns and the election and the media coverage be as much about the economy and about Obama as it is now?
I think the answer to each of these questions is "No."
Once again rogue yam, I am in total agreement with you. Your Post #89 is spot on.
