Is Santorum throwing in the towel?
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/12/08.html#a6241

Rick was on H&C- looked defeated and played the "attack the media " game for his woeful showing so far against Bill Casey.

Colmes: Why are you down by double digits in your race?

Rick: It's- you know the climate isn't the best climate right now. (Bush is an anchor) and I'm running against a name, (not Santorum) I'm running against a very popular...

Colmes: You've been in the Senate, you've been in the House. Why aren't you doing better?

Rick: It's a very good name in PA, Bo Casey's a great name.----

Colmes:..is there something you need to connect to the electorate?

Rick: I think one of the struggles I have and a lot of conservatives do-is ahh-we have a media in the state that's not necessarily friendly, doesn't necessarily tell the whole side of the game...

It couldn't be because you wrote this? (graphics still down)

He is starting to stink up the joint.

6. Ha, are you kidding, he'll become another highly paid mouthpiece
Edited on Fri Dec-09-05 02:20 PM by Fla Dem
for one of the many right wing conservative think tanks. He'll be on TV more than he is now. They just love their defrocked politicians...think Gingrich.

9. I believe you will be stuck with him. VA is much closer to the
inside the Beltway action that he'll need.

11. I was reading where Santorum used to make fun of those who said
he didn't belong where he was.

Not so cocky now, is he.

What a weenie.

13. I Can Answer Colmes' Question
Colmes: You've been in the Senate, you've been in the House. Why aren't you doing better?

Well, when you write a book saying that women should stay home and bake cookies for their family, and that women who work are she-devil-Lesbian-Feminists-bent-on-destroying the family, then half the population may take offense to it.

15. Come now, Senator. What happened to personal responsibility?
Why must conservatives always blame others for their failures? The people decide whose elected, not the press.

16. It helps that DUers donated to Casey's campaign (HINT, HINT)
I did (his and Byrd's). I don't live in PA anymore, but I'd love to see Saintmoran get the heave-ho.

17. PA resident here, screw Santorum
As a PA resident in a very Republican section of the state, (yes, the old George Carlin joke IS correct: PA is odd, it has Philly in the east, Pittsburgh in the west, and Alabama right i nthe middle), I can confidently say that it does seem like the tide is shifting here. About January of this year I think I hit my low point as a Democrat. Things just looked terrible for us and we couldn't seem to mount an arguement against the GOP. People started to believe that Bush was being truthful, that the war was goign well, etc., and I didn't have a leg to stand on in some arguements. However, now it seems like there is a difference. There seems to be a hint of REVOLTION in the air. Gas got waaay too expensive here over the summer, the CIA leak investigation tarnished the GOP, and Santorum's ultra-right wing views are finally starting to see some knowledgeable opposition. Arlen Specter is at least a half- respectable senator, but Santorum I'm just plain embarrassed of. Hopefully Casey can beat his ass hardcore. People around here, in what is normally a GOP stronghold, are finally beginning to see that everything Santorum says and stands for is an idiotic lie and he is a terrible person overall.

18. ...Pittsburgh in the west, and Alabama right in the middle.
And what's west of Alabama? Mississippi.

Greetings from Toledo, Mississippi, where we count our votes with the NEW new math!
