Amazing race the GOP is having this election cycle.
I think it speaks to the wide range of GOP MASTERS fighting for control of today's Republican Party.
I doubt Ricky will win the nod from the GOP, but then too, when it comes to political prognostication, I am seldom right.
You touched on the key point.
The GOP establishment, the Obama campaign, and the left wing media, all want Mitt Romney. Conservatives and much of the rank and file GOP want anyone but Mitt Romney. It's telling that only now, Rick Santorum has taken the momentum. We really wanted Herman Cain, then we settled for Newt Gingrich, now in desperation, we try Rick Santorum.
As usual, when the lefties are correct, they are for the wrong reasons. This will help Obama, but not because the voters chose Rick Santorum, or because Obama is a good or competent POTUS, but because having Romney forced on us is going to dampen much of the enthusiasm on the right. Many of us will see this as a repeat of the John McCain nomination from 4 years ago.
I don't get you. Santorum is a much better candidate than Herman Cain with his 999 tax idea and his woman baggage.
Santorum has none of this baggage.
He isn't being "forced" on us. I think there are some voters who are finally getting smart enough to realize you don't vote for the "electable" guy, because that always gives us "moderates" like Ford, Dole, and McCain.
AND THEY ALWAYS LOSE!
We will disagree with each other on Mr.Cain.
As for the second point, I meant that Romney, not Santorum, is being forced on us.
I also have never fallen for the BS that Romney can beat obama. He can't, and the LMSM and the obama Campaign knows it. The only people stupid enough to believe that BS are the roughly 25% who have supported the liberal Republican from the start.
