Well the results
from Iowa are in and as much derision as I
have thrown at the whole Iowa
The morning news was
all about the results which had Romney ahead of Santorum by 8 votes, that is
correct, eight (8) votes. Ron Paul was close by at third and Gingrich was
forth. Perry quit and went back to Texas
I found it odd that
newscasters were congratulating Romney on the win (?) of the caucus when in
fact he lost big time. How? Well he spent over $10 million in Iowa
I have said a long
time ago that Romney is a good guy but people just don’t like him and there is
nothing he can do about it; he would lose to Obama, no question about it.
Santorum, an Italian
Catholic, presented himself as part of the 99% where Romney is the 1%.
Santorum’s grandfather may have worked in a mine but his father and mother were
in the medical field (clinical psychology) and hardly blue collar but hey,
great spin against Romney.
All the Republican
candidates ran first in the polls at one time or another, which means Iowans
still have not decided who if anybody they like for president of the United
States.
Santorum, the
current leading star, cannot run for president. He is a Catholic but he is also
an extreme social conservative even beyond what his Catholic faith preaches. An
example is Intelligent Design vs. evolution; the pope believes in evolution and
yet Santorum just can’t. His views on gays, etc. are just too radical for the
majority of Americans to stomach so Santorum = flash in the pan = bye-bye.
I am still of the
belief that NONE of the candidates is appropriate for the office of president
of the United States
I still feel a dark
horse will emerge. Jon Huntsman, who I
think got less than 1% in Iowa New Jersey
