Other headlines of note this morning:
"Santorum Lubed Up for New Hampshire"
"Romney, Santorum and Paul in Three Way"
"The Second Coming of Rick Santorum"
"Santorum Is On Everyone's Lips This Morning"
"Santorum Pulls One Out After Messy Race"
(Weinergate may soon be topped here, folks. If you have no idea why these are funny, google the definition of Santorum.)
But, what does all this mean?
1. Obama for America is giddy from the possibility they may only have to beat a pro-life Tea Party candidate. Then again, Iowa remains a deeply socially conservative rural state, and what happens in Iowa might just stay in Iowa.
2. Ron Paul is so close, he is the real story here. Young white males flock to him like flies on soda cans, and both the GOP and Obama will have to deal with that reality. In my experience as a progressive with an extensive network, Ron Paul also appeals to many young males who formerly voted for Obama, as well. The power of the anti-war platform cannot be underestimated.
The military-industrial complex power brokers will be launching a war against Ron Paul to save their puppet, Romney. Paul won't know what hit him because they will do it in the shadows.
3. Gingrich "has a rusty knife" and based on last night's speech, fully intends to use it against Mitt Romney. This could get very interesting.
I gave up watching my alma mater play an important game last night (Michigan football) because the real game was in Iowa. The "clown car" race keeps getting more and more interesting everyday. |
