Look, I'm not saying any of these candidates were wrong on the issues. They are correct on the pro-life, limited government, reduced spending and deficit positions. They just made stupid blunders, they said stupid things that the media killed them with. The 'Rats say stupid things all the time (example: Biden) and have the wrong positions on the issues, but it doesn't hurt them because the media gives them cover, and they promise largess to the sheeple, and that trumps any stupid gaffes the 'Rats make.
Santorum was a sitting Senator who got humiliated in a voter rejection debacle that made the history books.
Christine was a never elected candidate, who didn’t win after her party had campaigned against her, for instance Rove, who went on TV the night of her primary win and dumped all over her, Rove got in front of the cameras for that entire week, to dampen any effect or momentum she should have had coming from her primary victory.
Santorum made election history as a Senator, Christine has never held office.
“O’Donnell just said something stupid (like Allen and Akin and Mourdock) that gave fodder to the ‘Rats and the media, and was taken way off message by having to deal with it.”
Sure, 20 years prior to running and the media savaged her for it.
