there are parts of the campaign when people in the middle, from center left, very affected by what looked to be the lunch pale case. for rick santorum. i ve been telling my liberal friends, there s a lot of populism in the republican party. your guy spoke it. it isn t all 1%. it wouldn t be in general election if it was 1% party. 49 of that 50% republicans get in general elections like 2010 are not 1 percenters. why did he stay on that line and run on that line and knock romney s block off? why did he stick on my grandfather s big hands out of the coffin. i grew up, a joe bag of doughnuts, kind of guy, why didn t he stay there? why did he get into contraception and all this stupid stuff we fought about 50 years ago. you guys did. oh, come on, chris. so i hope we bring up contraception under this campaign? that s fine. that s one sentence out of a whole 45-minute speech.
he is more conservative than obama. is that the point? sure, that s the point. is that campaign slogan of the republicans? first i said money intrastructure. you re great. go ahead, howard. i m just listening with, listening to the trailing off of the santorum campaign here in the words of hogan gidly and if i m mitt romney, my enthusiasm level is going down by second. one of the advantages is his clear ability to meet with certain people. he is a roman catholic, he did connect with the could be servetive protestants as well as can licks. here he is describe is his rise as a candidate in his concessions speech right now. that s how people say, how did this happen? how were we able to come from nowhere? because i was smart enough to figure out that if i understood and felt at a very deep level, what you were experiencing across america and tried to be a
i want to look at something. here is what he said. your candidate in leaving the campaign, announcing it late this afternoon. let s watch. ladies and gentlemen, we made the decision getting into this race that our kitchen table, against all the odds. and we made a decision over the weekend, that while this presidential race is over for me we will suspend our campaign, we are not done fighting. we are going to continue to fight for those voices, we re going to continue to fight for the americans who stood up and gave us that air under our wings that allowed us to accomplish things that no political expert would have ever expected. that s fair enough, hogan, thanks for joining us.
because there is no job open if a republican wins this time. see, it s called hardball. this young guy just admitted the fact that you this guy you still speak for is planning it run in 2016. i have already written my column about how he will run in 2016. i hope he runs in 2016 so we don t even have to run to vote for him. i m just marveling at hogan having wander need this den. he has confirmed they have talked about possibility of santorum running in 2016. because romney will lose in 2012. for whatever reason. there is no other reason. if you get a republican elected in 2012 which you said is unlikely your guy has an opening in 2016. you haven t seen he is a conservative. he is more conservative than that doesn t mean anything. well, look, i think in the end that rick santorum will campaign for romney. and i think he will campaign for him among annie van gel cals, among others and say, i didn t get it.
direction we want this country to go. do we want to keep giving those tax breaks to folks like me who don t need it or give them to warren buffett, he definitely doesn t need them, or bill gates, he s already said, i don t need em, or do we want to keep investing in those things that keep our economy growing and keep us secure. republicans are lining up behind a budget plan that would slash social services for the poorest americans, programs like medicaid, while giving deep tax cuts to the wealthiest americans, up to 12% for people making over a million of year. the president speaking that economic fairness will sit better with americans. is he right? this is the key question, perhaps, of the campaign. robert rice served as secretary of labor under president clinton. his new e-bike is called beyond outrage. steve moore is a respected writer for the wall street
