The Base, Santorum And Meltdown

Feb 8th, 2012

As many have noted, the GOP base is losing it over the perception that the establishment has pre-ordained the outcome of the primary and caucus season. Although I thought that Newt was going to potentially take one or two of the three states in play yesterday, I clearly underestimated the depths of the insanity to which the disgruntled have descended.

Santorum took them all.

Yes, the same Rick Santorum we've covered HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.

The powers that be in the GOP are likely nearing a breakdown. An openly Dominionist, anti-contraceptive, Birther-appeasing whack-doodle has mopped the floor with the only candidate who might have a chance in the general election.

Santorum gloats last night


For the next week, Santorum is the face of the GOP. His message will be their message. He wasted no time getting that out.
