  • Santorum is an idiot. he just equated himself to Reagan in 1976. Uh, Santeria, Reagan LOST in 1976 to Ford.

    Comment


    • I enjoy Santorum's free association style of campaign speech. At least CNN didn't cut away from it this time.

      • CBS has projected Romney the winner in Wisconsin. Kind of surprising this early while still this tight.

        • CNN has called it for Romney also.

            i hate to say something that could be constued as negative toward Reagan, because I loved the guy. However, that 1976 run damaged Ford enough that Carter won. We know how those 4 years worked out.

            Also more important. Santorum ain't no Reagan.

            • Huckabee was saying Rick is going to be marginalized big time by the party if he doesn't bow out. He said if Mitt loses he will never be forgiven and receive a lot of the blame. He also suggested that Rick may exit before Pennsylvania because he can't afford to lose his home state. I thought it was telling that Rick didn't take any explicit shots at Mitt in his speech tonight.

                Yeah, Rick will start thinking about his pocket book in a few hours. He depends on lobbying as he's proven a loser in the free market, so he might get out after Easter.

                  That's pretty good, Vike.

                  For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                  Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                    True, right?

                    At least Obama isn't. He's never tried.

                    • Why does Romney include LBJ in the list of historical presidents? Lincoln, FDR, and LBJ? Strange. He knows LBJ isn't Labron James, right?

                        Can't wait for Obama to point out the gaffe.

                        I really don't think Romney meant to say that.
                        Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                          probably to counter the perception he is ignoring the poor by recognizing LBJ's war on poverty.

                            meh. He was just paraphrasing President Obama.

                              I don't know. If Obama points this out, Romney might remind him of how great LBJ was on civil rights.
