Santorum Withdrawal Sentences G.O.P. to Mitt Romney
If you had super hearing in the vicinity of the White House today you’d certainly hear sighs of relief, inauguration committees ordering stationery and the dull impact of endless fist bumps.
Why? Because Rick Santorum just took himself out of the presidential race, leaving Mitt Romney the obvious Republican candidate facing President Obama.
That would be the same Mitt Romney who trails the president 44% to 51% in the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll, mostly because he’s as bloodless as a turnip and is just about as committed to conservative ideals.
Offered the chance to take back the White House if they could just disprove the notion that they are a cabal of rich Easterners without guts or backbone, Republicans will now nominate the author of a vast Massachusetts health bureaucracy who says he hates vast health bureaucracies and whose wife “drives a couple of Cadillacs.”
Super.
