Candidates scrambling for that spot

Santorum telegraphs punches at Romney before GOP debate

All the other candidates are really fighting each other for that spot right below Romney and it really doesn’t do any good in the end because Romney will end up getting more attention. Santorum is definitely going to be going after Romney and he’s really doing anything he can to attract attention and make Romney look bad. In Amherst, NH, Santorum addressed a bunch of people, but he mostly just addressed the ways that Romney would be a bad nominee and president. He talked about how Romney was not a strong conservative and how someone like that would not be able to win against Obama because they have many of the same ideas such as Romneycare and Obamacare, the solutions to our healthcare problems. The Republican Party needs someone who is steadfast in the views of the party and will hold true to his beliefs. He believes that the Republican Party needs someone very different from Obama to have a chance in this election and he believes that he has those qualities. The point he made that stuck out to me is that Romney will end up just “managing the mess in Washington D.C.”. He doesn’t have the capability to turn things around according to Santorum. Even if he did win, there would not be much of a change. America needs someone new and I feel that Santorum is speaking the truth when he says this. Romney would do very well in managing because he’s very moderate, but we need a strong leader who is strong in his views to pick of D.C. and turn it the way that will mean progress in the future in every aspect.
