Meh, even if it’s so, these aren’t important states. Just ask Mitt.
Of course, that doesn’t mean Romney won’t spend some significant cabbage smearing Santorum as a big spending liberal in those meaningless states regardless. After all, what’s the point of having all that campaign money if you can’t use it offhandedly to trash a guy as insufficiently conservative who, while you were running as an “independent” “progressive” eager to distance yourself from Ronald Reagan, was winning a Democratic state as a Reagan conservative and pre-emptively (it turned out) rejecting the individual mandate?
So. To recap: if Romney wins, he’s “inevitable,” and we need to stop our bickering and fall in line behind him. Whereas if Santorum wins, it’s only because these are unimportant states that Romney isn’t really trying in, and it means nothing, because Santorum is unelectable and hasn’t the money to carry through a competitive campaign — largely because he’s unelectable, despite whatever wins or solid showings he may collect. Unimportantly.
This is your GOP. Flag lapel pins for all!
I’ll be doing my part tonight to make sure this unimportant little flyover district sends the right message to the would-be kingmakers. Mittenz can suck it!
[…] Santorum is expected to have some great big wins today. Can you feel the excitement, hear all the press coverage? What’s that? […]
A stampede to vote in Minn.
heh, did Gisele proclaim her man can’t both pull the lever in Minnesota and Missouri at the same time?
Same day registration! Isn’t Democracy grand?
I hope Santorum has the money (and the thick skin) to stay in. Possibly, he’ll see some fundraising shift from Newt Gingrich to him, now that Gingrich is self imploding (as I expected- Newt is his own worst enemy). While Romney seems increasingly like an inevitability, if Santorum can stay in and at least make Romney consider and take into account the conservative position during the course of this primary and hear the voices supporting the conservative position, maybe he’ll be more inclined to be as concerned with Tea party conservatives as he is with courting “progressive republicans”. Even more so, I’m hoping somehow Santorum gains that momentum that propelled Newt and Cain to the top of the polls at one point. He seems to be due.
I’m afraid its going to come down to money though and Santorum won’t be able to compete with Romney in the fundraising arena. Its times like this I really really wish Perry had made a better showing and that Michelle Bachman had stayed in.
I think that I’m going to start refering to a certain candidate as “His Inevitableness.” Which must mean that he can’t be evited.
For example, “Because you support the individual mandate and TARP, because you pander to ‘moderates’ and the media, because you support cap and trade, because of the innumerable evidences you have given that you are merely Obama lite, I will never support your candidacy, Your Inevitableness.”
It’s inevitable.
You must want Obama to win purist
Rjacobse, now it’s “His Electable Inevitableness,” in honor of his inevitable electableness.
ot another shale play
Introducing the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale
Shale plays map. pdf. I’d bet that that new treaty for the Great lakes that the EPA has negotiated will “fix” the ones in that region.
This is shaping up to mirror the California governors race. Jerry Brown, as sort of a dreary incumbent(Arnold was termed out, and Brown had been governor before), against a progressive republican that thought she could buy the election.
A guy responsible for most of the current mess against a challenger distinguishable only by the jersey.
I fear we will repeat nationally.
GO SANTORUM!!
McGeehee, that works for me. It’s got a nice meter, plus, you can invert it for freshness. “His Inevitable Electableness.”
And remember the newest talking points: Minnesota, Missouri, and Colorado don’t matter!
Of course. By definition any state not won by his Electable Inevitableness doesn’t matter. Because of his electableness what you can’t evit.
We’re flyover country. We’ve never mattered.
