Hmmm... You seem to be describing the very phenomenon that got OBAMA elected in 2008. HE was a blank slate and tens of millions of voters got excited building up in their minds whatever image of him they wanted.
Bottom line... The election is still 8-1/2 months away and I believe I’m being very REALISTIC in predicting that Obama will be defeated.
I hope you are right. I would really love to be able to say President Rick Santorum said......
I do think he is a long shot, and why I am publically supporting Newt Gingrinch for president.
Rick has yet to satisfy me to his loss in PA. Why did he move to Virgina? Why did he use PA. funds to educate his children and then when confronted refuse to pay the state back when he clearly lived somewhere else? Why did the voters sour on him and vote him out by 18 per cent. Those are important questions, and not about being a hater. They need to be answered better. It is not enough to say it was a bad year for republicans, it was NOT that bad. Having said all that Rick is one of the candidates I will get behind and support if he wins the nomination. Newt would be a more engaging and successful candidate against Obama, IN MY OPINION. I think I can still have an opinion. I would like to be wrong.
