"Gays were on a jihad" against him.
The only thing that shocks me about that statement is the realization that I'd forgotten all about Rick Santorum's presidential candidacy.
Ghod what happened to this little wanker eh?
Further to the right than even Ron Paul, screechier than Sarah Palin and even more dimly inflexible than Rick Perry, Santorum has somehow bungled it all and "Gat No Heat" in the current GOP presidential contest.
"High Pitched Rick" is billed down with the cheap acts, the plate spinners and right below Herman Cain. I"m not even sure at this point if Santorum is a factor in the vital sub-rosa GOP derby to become Secretary of Transportation.
Pretty big comedown for someone once tagged as a Future Dictator of the U.S.A. He can't even gin up a uccessful fight with the gay community, somehow everyone seems to have tuned out Santorum's nasty little whining voice.
Hence he languishes.
Still and all that, I doubt he will bail on the race any time soon, candidates drop out at this point in the game for financial reasons mostly, under the realization that they can drive a better bargain with their endorsement than by persevering in the primaries.
Rick's endorsement is worth nothing, he can't deliver his own state (which everyone has forgotten is Pennsylvania) and what followers he has can be lured away with a free buffet when the time comes.
For all that I'd love to see what kinds of crowds his stump speech is gathering in New Hampshire though...it'd be instructive to say the least.
