Instead of marching in lockstep, the Republican Party is now just milling around aimlessly. (Original Post) renie408 Feb 2012 OP

Especially with South Carolina. If Santorum had a full win of at least a percentage point or two in Iowa, he would have topped Noot in NH, and at least tied him in SC. Things didn't work out that way, and the Noot got his last moment in the sun. It looks to be a real contest for Super Tuesday between the two of them, and I currently predict that Ricky will beat Noot in at least half of the Southern contests that we figured the Divorcinator to win.

Santorum was always a more acceptable anti-Mitt than Gingrich, it just took getting past a couple of goofy-ass Southern Rethug primaries for the nation to figure that out.

Normally that's the almost sole purview of Democrats, because we're so damn good at it. It's nice to see the tables turned.

and there is a possibility that one of those nuts will fire real bullets. Anywho, it seems to me that when Democrats are fighting that consensus is sometimes achieved or at least there is some resolution once the dust settles. Republicans seem to be literally out for blood when they fight.
