Santorum Seems To Be A Good, Intelligent Man With Common Sense and Strong Character.

Nothing at all like BHO - Our phony, egotistical, Green Socialist in Chief.

Fenn made the comment regarding Iowans as "The best we got." Like Americans were scrapping the bottom of the barrel for something, anything.

Hardly, Fenn, as opposed to what, "a community organizer, affirmative action professor/poster child, a half term freshman senator who voted present 99% of the time, no major achievement other than he spoke proper English, Bill Ayers confidant, Chicago politician (FYI . . . I still think Obama was deeply involved in Blago's wheeling and dealing of his still warm seat in the senate. How could he not be? Obama's seat was his seat that he vacated. He wanted and needed that seat and vote to be party line for his social agenda. Blago will get his presidential pardon when Obama loses.)

You lose credibility, Fenn, when you castigate Romney for having to be a moderate governor over a enclave, bastion state of liberal progressive theology.

You want to talk flip-flop, start with your own guy first. Gitmo is still open. We still had our ongoing wars in Afghanistan/Iraq. He's done nothing to assure our allies in the middle east. He's failed us in Pakistan, India, Iran. We even have the Chinese and Russians giving us economic lecturers about borrowing. He's in bed and spooning with the Chinese. Obama's "hope and change" we find is "desperation and despair." He wanted to change Washington politics, be more transparent, have frank, candid conversations, be a "team" player, etc. He's been anything but transparent (gun running, back room/midnight deals, etc). He's rebuked and scoffed any Republican who took him at his word to "work" with him. Congress is more polarized than ever since Obama's taken office. But Obama's been certain to maintain the status quo of sweetheart deals to lobbiests, supporters, and liberal progressive foot soldiers Solyndra, GE, GM, etc.

No, like most American's I'll take Romney's seldom flip-flops, inconsistencies, and pandering to the far right on immigration, healthcare, and social issues every day of the week and twice on Sunday, before I can tolerate antoher day of Barak Hussein Obama.

No,

Peter writes "the fire was directed primarily at former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. And, of course, he sank like a rock".

Anything can happen in Iowa with 41 % undecided.

Iowa is not a good judge of the Nation. McCain came in 4th here. Reagan loss.

Nationwide Ron P. in third place and Newt doubles Paul score according to Gallup. Mitt just a few points above Newt...
