I guess I've jumped ship?? No! not abandoned ship as that dude did, but hopped from Ron to Rick!
I just watched Rick Santorum on CNN with Wolfe and I think I have some excellent political advice for him.
It's not how fast you talk and how many points you can get in as much as it's what you say and how you say it. The Ous, ows, ands, and das should be removed from a good speakers agenda.
Think 1st then speak, don't try to do both at the same time it dilutes both. I recognize the fact
repetition is necessary but anything can be over done, after the 2nd or 3rd time you say it you tend to get cut off by your audience + there is other important things that must be said in the time frame you have to say it.
He made some exceptional points during the interview which will help carry him to a possible 3rd or 2nd finish but I don't expect him to win this state his opposition has too much leverage but in Florida watch out, we'll have a new leader in the republican primary.
If he'd just taken a few seconds to think before he spoke his answers could have been much more forceful. Sometimes the short somewhat sarcastic
answer gets more response 'when thought out' than the longer rhetoric for getting the listening audiences attention! I'll end by saying he's changed my mind!

Foster Freiss, Santorum Super PAC Backer, Gets Cozy With Candidate First Posted: 02/ 7/2012 11:56 pm Updated: 02/ 8/2012 5:00 i.huffpost.com/gen/492185/thumbs/r-FOSTER-FREISS-large570.jpg Standing right behind Rick Santorum (over his right shoulder) as he gave his victory speech in Missouri after the Republican primary Tuesday night was Foster Freiss, the main financial backer of his super PAC. Friess is a wealthy businessman and a bankroller of many conservative causes. His donations to the Red White And Blue super PAC have, more or less, given it the money needed to run the few ads it's aired. Among those ads include spots attacking former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in Minnesota, another state that Santorum won on Tuesday. The campaign and the super PAC cannot legally coordinate. And it stands to reason that, legally speaking, having Friess next to Santorum on stage doesn't violate that rule. The former senator from Pennsylvania, after all, wasn't talking to Friess directly, nor was Santorum speaking explicitly about campaign strategy. But the proximity of the donor to the candidate on Tuesday night is a wonderful illustration of the dangers of the new campaign finance system: Where big checks don't just get you a seat at the table, they get you a spot on the stage.

Voters Challenge Santorum’s Eligibility For Indiana Primary

Rick Santorum did not turn in enough certified signatures, but his name will still appear on the Indiana primary ballot unless the Election Division decides otherwise.
Five Indiana voters have formally challenged Rick Santorum‘s eligibility for the state‘s presidential primary. Election officials say Santorum failed to submit the required 500 petition signatures in the seventh congressional district, which comprises the southern two-thirds of Marion County.
The former Pennsylvania Senator disputes that claim, saying the Marion County Voter Registration Board wrongly threw out dozens of valid signatures. The board added 16 signatures to Santorum‘s total after the campaign submitted a list of 49 signatures for reconsideration. That still leaves him eight short.
Indiana law, however, leaves him on the ballot unless at least three of the four members of the Indiana Election Commission vote to kick him off. That hearing will take place sometime before March 1.
Hogan Gidley, National Communications Director for Rick Santorum, says the former Pennsylvania Senator would do well in Indiana if he gets the chance.
“Rick Santorum‘s a natural fit for the state of Indiana,” he says. “We expect to take his message of smaller government, manufacturing, bringing back those jobs that have been lost to china, and of course the social issues that are important to all Americans, to all the voters.”
Two Republicans and two Democrats serve on the commission. Its chairman, Former Schererville State Representative Dan Dumezich, is the Indiana Campaign co-chairman for Santorum‘s rival Mitt Romney. Voters have until Friday to file challenges.
At least two other candidates appear vulnerable. Republican gubernatorial hopeful Jim Wallace also came up short in the seventh district.
"CUTE!"

NoMoBama wants to run against Santorum.
That must mean I'll be forced to vote Rom.
I wish Herman Cain would've stayed in.
I'd probably voted for him.

This has been one of the hardest decisions Karen and I have ever had to face together.
I'm not sure 'i' understand, you ran, didn't get the votes, couldn't win, 'i' don't think it was your decision-the people have spoken-
not that that means alot-cause they don't make the decisions either-money ...Who's going to "WIN!"
*=* if you think your vote counts for anything- - - think again! *=*
Ron you hang-in-there; 'i' want to hear what you have to say @ the convention! "&" 'i' want people to write it down and remember you said it! They'll eventually see you where right on all counts
