Why Does Rick Santorum So Often Appear Ticked Off?
  • All of the candidates have appeared ticked off at one time or another, but Rick Santorum’s continues to have a problem presenting a winning presence. Watch this clip of his swing through Iowa today. When he’s shaking hands he’s smiling but as soon as the press surrounds him he looks defensive and slightly irritated: I’d sort of like to see him do well but he’s missing that cool confidence that [...]...
    • Romney Wins Florida, Newt Vows to Fight On
  • Here’s a bit of his speech. I heard this live on the radio and, while not particularly new, I thought it was convincing: Here’s Newt’s speech: Romney won with 46%, Newt trailed with a still impressive 32% and Santorum was 3rd with 13%. As Newt has pointed out before, if you add his total and Santorum’s total you tie Romney. There are still a lot of people voting for not-Mitt....
    • Highlights of Last Night’s GOP Debate
  • This clip gives an overview of the debate and also shows Mitt and Newt sparring over the Palestinians: I’ve said since the beginning that Newt has done extremely well in these debates. He continued to show that last night. Here he is handling what may be the single biggest issue he faces, his own past behavior. This came shortly after Perry talked about the character of someone who cheats on [...]...
    • The Santorum Sweep Becomes the Santorum Surge
  • Ed Morrissey posted this at Hot Air. Santorum’s polling numbers have exploded in the wake of this week’s sweep: Riding a wave of momentum from his trio of victories on Tuesday Rick Santorum has opened up a wide lead in PPP’s newest national poll. He’s at 38% to 23% for Mitt Romney, 17% for Newt Gingrich, and 13% for Ron Paul. The story goes on to say that this boost [...]...
    • Santorum Wins Iowa
  • The votes aren’t quite in yet and the gap is exceedingly narrow (18 votes at present) but I don’t think anyone can doubt that Rick Santorum won Iowa by moving from 6% a few weeks ago to a statistical tie with Mitt Romney. By all accounts he worked hard with very little money on hand to put himself in a position to get this result. As soon as video of [...]...
    • Chris Christie: 3 Years of Obama Has Left Us Hopeless and Changeless
  • It’s a good line but I still get the feeling the crowd isn’t nearly as excited about Mitt as Christie is. Listen to the listless cheer when Christie uses his name: Mitt has this just about sewn up. That’s what the polls are saying. He’s got a very good chance of winning in Iowa and New Hampshire. If he does that, he’ll pick up more momentum. Plus, as of now, [...]...
    • Video: Santorum’s Final Surge (Plus Obligatory Glitter Attack)
  • This clip starts with a gay marriage supporter tossing glitter on Santorum and screaming “Stop the hate! Taste the rainbow!” Santorum handles it really well. He just keeps smiling and brushes himself off. The rest of the clip is retail politics and Santorum is really surging. The final polling from the Des Moines Register was released and it shows the linuep we’ve seen before Romney at 24, Paul at 22, [...]...
    • Santorum Blasts Obama: “He wants to remake you in his image”
  • Not sure why the AP has named this clip “Santorum Attacks Romney in Michigan.” Romney isn’t mentioned here. Instead you get a tough attack on President Obama: Now this is a good example of Santorum using religious language in a way that is potent without being off-putting. That line about Obama wanting to “remake us in his image” is playing off scripture without getting into the weeds....
    • Video: Romney Wins Narrowly in Michigan
  • The state has been called for Romney and he’s just given his victory speech. It’s a win but a narrow one. At this moment, with 86% reporting, Romney has 354,335 votes to Santorum’s 326,302. The margin has actually been shrinking over the last half hour. But unlike Iowa, Santorum isn’t going to wind up the winner this time. Romney also won Arizona so it’s a sweep. According to exit polling, [...]...

    • Santorum Wins Kansas, Attacks Obama’s Energy Policy

    It’s getting pretty difficult to believe Newt is in this as a real competitor. If Newt had opted out last weekend and Santorum had won just slightly more than half of the 14% Newt got in Ohio (which seems likely), the delegate count would look pretty different. All that to say, it’s beginning to feel like Newt is playing spoiler.

    Santorum went after Obama using fracking as an issue:

    This should be a major debate this election as it seems Obama’s EPA is working to shut this down even as he continues to talk up electric cars which are over-priced and disappointing in the view of most Americans.
