Without Newt on the ballot, Santorum takes Missouri: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/08/us-usa-campaign-idUSTRE80Q2AQ20120208
And the elections just got even more exciting. Although I don't know how long it's gonna last for, Gingrich and Romney are still to me more stable candidates.
This is awesome news. The truth is that Romney, Ginge, and Paul have low electability levels. Santorium actually is a little bit electable. He represents the GOP's best shot at unseating Obama.
That said, assuming Obama wins, these little GOP state contests will really all be for naught.
I think Obama has done a reasonably good job such that he deserves a second chance. You have to remember all the problems he inherited from Bush, and the fact that he faces an obstructionist Congress which is cantankerous and very difficult to work with.
If Obama wins it will be because the Republican cast of clowns shot themselves in the foot. As far as what he inherited from Bush, the democrats can't hide their failures behind that old song forever. And that " obstructionist Congress" was sent there to do just that. As we are still seeing Obama likes to just ram crap down people's throat and hope they swallow it.
Never said Bush did or did not do anything. Just said Bush can't be the excuse forever.
What are you basing that on? The polls tend to fluctuate and almost every candidate has polled well against Obama at some point and poorly at other times. Probably the one consistent strong poller was Romney. Santorum, with his absurd tax plan and populist policies that ignore reality will get destroyed in a national election vs. Obama after the negative attacks start. His tax plan was given a D+ by an anti-tax think tank because it is so bad and would increase the deficit so much.
I think the reason that Romney does so well vs. Obama is because his policies are for a very great part, indistinguishable. In that particular match-up, people are looking at the "R" or "D" instead of having to choose rationally. Perhaps this is a sign that they think Obama is failing? that they would choose an almost exact copy of him, instead of sticking with the incumbent?
I dunno. It looks like the Republicans are trying to replicate the '08 Democratic primary. Make it a blow-by-blow dogfight right up until the end.
Not a good idea, I would think, as this has been a very nasty campaign season . . . but at least it's interesting. You've got to give them that.
I believe you are correct.I think Sanitarium is just having his 15 minutes.
Like Bachmann, Trump, Perry, Cain before him.
