Guess Who's Getting Antsy About Santorum...

I had a feeling a year ago that Santorum would end up a real contender, and now Obama has unleashed the hounds on him.

I'm not necessarily endorsing him. However, I can't help but admire a man left for dead politically 6 years ago, by both sides, rising to the precipice of front-runner status.

Hit him with your best shot, Mr. President...

And the winner is, by TKO, the kid from PA!

America loves an underdog. Rickey--Rocky--it could work.

“And the winner is, by TKO, the kid from PA!”

The winner by 1st round knockout.

Rather ironic that one of the shots fired at Santorum comes from Arlen Spector - “Santorm not qualified to be president”. No good turn ever goes unpunished. Help a snake again, Rick?

[Jukeman]

“1st round knockout”

Even better.

[cripplecreek]

That’s politics though.

Today, Tim Pawlenty endorsed Michele Bachmann for congress.

[throwback]

Seriously? I guess that's why I gave up on professional baseball. You get fixated on the personalities on one team, and next year your players are now on the opponents team and vice versa. Just business.

Please don’t insult the noble dog catcher.

LOL love it!

Not to imply any similarities between the two men, but there was this certain left-for-dead politician from Whittier, California who beat a consensus establishment candidate named Romney for the nomination back in 1968.

I will cite the similarities:
Both have a tin ear for live broadcast dialogue
Both forget how cliches turn into bad sound bytes.
Both have the media loathing them.
Both have a lot of time as a pol and see government as a solution to problems.
