No one knows what Obama’s baggage is, and if they did the media wouldn’t report it anyway.
Santorum has a lot of state-wide campaigning in Pennsylvania, so his “baggage” has been inspected, and the liberal PA press even gave a loving, TSA style pat-down.
Santorum will have no learning curve. His time in the House and Senate prepared him well. He served a very long time on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and is extremely conversant with the threats facing this nation.
He also was the #3 man in the Senate serving as Republican Conference Chairman, the party’s third-ranking leadership position in the Senate.
So, he has had leadership experience with one of the world’s major legislative bodies.
Thank you for pointing that out. He has more experience than our current "organizer", not to mention core values. Still, as much as I would like to see Newt devastate obambi in debates, Santorum just doesn't have it. What he does have in this American Idol culture is the looks and smile. As sad as that may be, it's a huge factor to independents.
Bottom line: I prefer Newt for his wisdom and HUGE accomplishments in 1994, but will settle for Santorum's lackadaisical style before Mitten's liberalism.
Oh really?
Descriptions are from the people in his own State that worked directly with Santorum in the Republican Party who know Santorum best politically and professionally:
“extreme”,... “big government”,... “pork barrel spender”,... “hair trigger volatility”,... “cruel”,... “extremely arrogant”, ...“dismissive”,... “massive ego”,.... lack of character,... poor temperament, ...“unfit”, ...“He treats people really badly with arrogance and contempt”, ...multiple personas,.. vindictive,... nasty,... “a disaster”,... “abrasive”, ...“absurd”,... “phony”,... “rigid”,... “divisive”,.... “a sure victory for Obama”.
Santorum will have no learning curve...he has had leadership experience with one of the world’s major legislative bodies.
Santorum’s record has been recounted here on numerous occasions that ..."Rick Santorum has never been a leader when it came to bucking the party leadership on anything, most especially including spending.".... On every major spending issue Medicare Part D, earmarks, etc. he's been compliant......In light of this, I am at a loss as to how he has suddenly become the choice of so many who loudly proclaim that only a crusader on spending issues will do.

Obama carries the most damaging 'baggage' of all -- the economy.
