The Future

The Iuwa caucus may be the big story for the Republicans this go round. Never in history has there been such a close contest. It was decided by 8 votes.(30,015-30,007)  I like what Rick Santorium is saying, but it's nothing new. It's kind of like the party is using him as a lsst resort. All the candidates have been the frontrunner except Michelle Bachnanm and she dropped out after the Iowa caucus. She read the writing on the wall. Republicans aren't going to elect a woman. Just like the mainstream isn't going to elect a Mormon.

I have to see how Rick Santorium is going to perform with the target on his back. As someone who rooted for him early on, I don't know yet. He has slid through the debates pretty much untouched. In the beginning no one paid him any attention. He was always the one complaining about not getting equal time during the debates. Though I understood what he meant. The first time he had the media's ear he stuck his foot in his mouth. He made a comment about blacks that even I thought was over the top. Mitt Romney is still the heir apparent to the Republican nominations throne. I think the stage is set for 2012. Mitt Romney is like Moses. But Rick Santorium might make a good Joshua.
