but he must abandon this very weak campaign of his.

When he faces serious opposition his campaigns are weak. Here's hoping he keeps up the tradition.

Remind me who made it seem like there was a big chance of victory for Santorum. Thanks.



What did he do in the governor's primary to get himself defeated?  I've heard about this, but I'm not privy to the details.

Casey had it all locked up. He wasn't for Philly (even Dems outside of the city get annoyed with the city), he had the establishment, he had the union support, he had the name...in other words, he had it all. Then came the actual campaigning and he sucked. Rendell had the charisma and could turn out the vote in his area (SE PA). Casey was supposed to easily win the primary. He ended up going down in defeat - 56% - 44%.

Here's something that spoke to the issue on Santorum's site - http://www.ricksantorum.com/Blog/BlogPost.aspx?BlogPostID=2130

By that logic, we can argue as he got so badly screwed by Bush and Rove in the primary, McCain would've been a lousy candidate who would've lost to Gore.

Or we're just stating that when the going gets tough for this guy, he can't survive (or just barely does like he did in the '96 Auditor General primary).
