In reply to the discussion: PPP National Polls: Santorum 38, Romney 23, Gingrich 17, Paul 13; minus Newt 50-28 [View all]DallasNE
(8,009 posts)11. Unbelievable
Not that Santorum has surged to a commanding lead. Every Republican except for Rand Paul has had this surge. Trump, Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Gingrich and now Santorum. What is unbelievable is how none of the Republicans seem to pay any attention to what the candidate says before annoiting their latest candidate du jure. Soon we will be seeing sound bites of what Santorum has been saying and probing those views and down his numbers will tumble, too. Romney did have a very bad week on the campaign trail so it is no surprise to see his numbers tumble. Did he recover with his CPAC speech? His delivery was crisp but his message was muddled, so who knows. Carry on clowns. You have me falling down laughing.

I hope the conservatives tell Romney, if his Super PAC attacks Santorum, they will kick Romney out
