BloggeRhythms 4/10/2012

Read an article on Reuters this morning that says that after taking a long week off,  Rick Santorum plans to get right back in the race. And the first thought that crossed my mind was, what race? And the next question to myself was, if he means the presidential nomination contest, why? Because, as far as any chance he has of winning goes, there just isn't any. So, what's his point?

Then, after thinking the matter over some more, I reached the same conclusion I've come to before. Because I think it's a good thing for Mitt Romney to have some other guys in his party around for a while longer to campaign against here and there. That way he can test various theories in public, gauge the feedback and adjust his own strategies before going head to head with the incumbent.

And what's even much, much better than that for Mitt is, while he's still in contention with others on his own side of the aisle, the incumbent's making huger and huger mistakes every time he opens his mouth. So, for right now, as folks are watching someone who's supposed to be acting like the President of the United States and a supposedly grown man, they're watching him fold under pressure while whining and snivelling like a four year old child. 

So, as far as Santorum goes, I think he's doing Romney a very big favor by hanging around in a contest he can't possibly win and permitting Mitt to continue honing his rhetoric and skills before facing a guy who keeps crawling farther and farther out on a very weak limb. And in return, after the election maybe Mitt will pay Santorum back by giving him a job he's truly qualified for, if such a thing really exists.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
