I would make a bet that Santorum would beat Obama in the general election, especially if the economy is still bad and unemployment is high. It's the economy, stupid, as Clinton would say.

Oh, no, I don't think so, Dan! I think Romney would be competition, I think Newt would need perfect circumstances, and I think Ron Paul would be a disaster. But not as big a disaster as Rick Santorum. His views are so, so extreme. He's got that little Google problem. He IS the only remotely tea party-ish candidate. I find it HILARIOUS that Newt is carrying that flag now, insider politician that he is. Anyway, this is all very entertaining.
ReplyDeleteIf the economy contiunes on its current upward trend, or stays flat--or even goes down a little bit--I'm betting on Obama. If it dives, I don't know.
