Okay, that Romney or Santorum claim to be against.

No, UG, I didn't tell only half the story. The story is that there are people who support Santorum that feel it's funny/appropriate to shout "Pretend it's Obama!" while people are shooting at a gun range. That's the story. That some people are blinded by their hatred of President Obama that they'd suggest shooting him. That's all. This particular asshole got her remark captured and repeated.

You talked about another story, how Santorum was reported to have disdained the woman's remark. So what? What does that suggest?

Seriously, if it became a choice between Obama and Santorum, all it would take is a few clips of Santorum losing it and the announcer stating 'Is this the man you want in control of the world's largest nuclear arsenal'?

Or just dust off the 'Daisy' ad.

Seriously, say what you will about Obama or Romney, but they at least appear to have stable temperaments. While being the darling of the 'red meat' conservative and evangelical sets, moderates and independents are going to take one long look at Santorum and vote for Obama or abstain.

Being in the Philadelphia market, I was exposed to Santorum's "Elephant in the Room" columns in our local paper. He writes a lot like he talks.

Paranoid religious zealot is probably the kindest thing that can be said for him.

Turns out Santorum is registered to vote in two states. I wonder if the GOP anti-voter fraud folks are offended. I wonder how many passionate partisans cross State lines on election day?

nope

Nah. I have deep suspicions about his racism (along with all his other bigotries), but no way would a presidential candidate slip up and almost call him a nigger in a pre-written or at least pre-broadly-scripted campaign speech. it wouldn't fit, in that speech, to call him a nigger, even if you WERE that sort of racist.

Having not read any story on this, it's probably PA's weird voter registration practices at fault. They avoid taking anyone off the rolls for anything but death or inactivity.

?????????? weird.
