Yes, easily. Santorum is the only candidate on the stage with any conviction - man that can be trusted to do what he says he’ll do. He can campaign on the campaign trail, which is something that will have to be done against Obama. Debates will be at a very minimum. McCain got two. Anyone running now will be lucky to get that.
Obama is the POTUS and doesn’t have to debate anyone, and if he doesn’t care about America then he sure isn’t going to care what people think about whether he debates.
The results are clear. Santorum is campaigning and his numbers are good. And he did it where he had to do it, stumping on the trail.
LOL
Debate Analysis so far:
Fixed for Romney. As usual, Romney
gets extra time AND questions framed for him
to others, so he gets ... even more time.
Romney - Memorized lines well. Romney must have
had his pre-debate attack script read well
by the CNN anchor.
Romney again was mentioned in many questions, so he
could get a ‘free whack’ against his competition
courtesy of the anchor.
Santorum - Must be frustrated that Romney gets away
with lying. No one ever questions Romney’s ‘facts’
... or his fake votes.
Gingrich - When he speaks up, he takes control.
But he has been wounded by the Romney Attack Machine
and here, an audience filled with vocal RomneyBOTs.
Paul - Cindy Sheehan and al Qaeda and RomneyBOTs cheer,
as the ‘deal’ has already been made.
Just what I thought, Huckabees supporters are now Santorums
Newt is winning this by staying off the playground.
If Newt had answered, “Conservative” instead, I think the place would have erupted.
Yo Mitt! Syria is more than in flux.
We had an American killed there today.
“What the hell? Do these Romneybots support actually Romneycare???”
They support Mittens, that’s why/who they support. They’re no more conservative or small government than he is.
Santorum can take his only agenda over to HHS and serve there, undoing Sebelius! IF, Newt doesn’t wipe out that department!
Newt: CHEERFUL
It shows that Newt has more Emotional Intelligence over anyone on stage.
Romney obviously had that question ahead of time and thought Resolute would be the word to use.
And then Newt...
Cheerful. E-intelligence. He has it.
Santorum can take his only agenda over to HHS and serve there, undoing Sebelius! IF, Newt doesn’t wipe out that department!
That’s exactly how all the questions are asked, and Newt is the best at turning them back onto Obama and King.
excellant analysis!
That would have been my eword. Audience would have gone wild. UNOBAMA.
But I do appreciate the effort. Thanks.
Uh oh. Crazy Uncle up now.
We owe nearly 16 trillion with a almost a third of that due to zero and there is no talk about it!!! Simply crazy.
Oh crap, Ron Paul now complaining about “wars” again.
