Iowa's evangelicals and hicks bought that crap from Romney and Santorum. It will not be as effective in most other states.
Yup.
Santorum needs to drop off the face of the earth. No one would miss him. Ron Paul..........I love the ole coot, I actually agree with his foreign policy, If, IF we lived in a perfect world, but we don't, so it's batshit crazy. His economic policies would be spot on. I also think that it would be a good idea to have him as the Sec of Treasury.
I read something the other day about Paul, and he is going to be the winner. He knows that he can run 3rd party and kill the Republicans chances. Rumors are out that he is going to hold the party hostage and make them get tough and start to look into pushing his agenda to not run as a third part candidate. Pretty smart on his part. I wouldn't mind for some of his agenda to get pushed through. As long as it is not foreign policy related. Then again this is all rumor and he might not even be thinking this. He need not run third party if he cares about Rand's hopes as a politician. I have also noticed that some of the Ron Paul fringe saying "we can't wait for Rand to run". I chortle knowing that he is nothing like his dad when it comes to foreign relations.
I think if Newt can pick up some of Perry's supporters and if Santorum would go ahead and drop out, we are looking at Newt as being the nominee.
