GOP Primary Megathread!

[Habbaku]

Just read an op-ed by the Hammer of the Krauts stating that Santorum is "the logical conservative alternative to Romney."

[Sheilbh]

Santorum has never even worked besides milk his post-Senate connections. He spent most of his adult life in school (till age 28) and then politics (since age 30).

His dad was an immigrant, his grandfather a coal miner.  He's spoken out about the need for the GOP to appeal to working class families and the like.  He's kind of tapping into that same Huckabee vibe of 'I remind people of the guys they worked with, not the guy who fired them.'  I think/hope it's the future of the Republican party.

There's a David Brooks column on it too, Yi, and Ross Douthat has this as the positive thing Santorum brought to the race (he's praising all candidates).

Newt's been attacking Romney.  I'm enjoying his work.  He really bears a grudge

Oh yeah Perry you are making us look awesome.  A bargain at twice the price.

Well.  If it helps I've kind of forgotten about Bush

Also heard E. J. Dionne of the WashPost on NPR sayin Santorum has a very consistent world view that appeals to white working class Republicans.

Maybe Marty's greatest wish/nightmare will come true.
