LADY LAKE, Fla. ? Rick Santorum warned Monday that if Newt Gingrich becomes the Republican nominee, voters will be too focused on his liabilities to see the president?s.
?We want to make this race about one thing. About Barack Obama and his record,? Santorum told about 200 voters inside an American Legion hall here. ?If this race is about the Republican nominee and their inconsistencies, their problems and all the other issues that are revolving around them, folks, a billion dollars and the mainstream media will make this a very, very ugly election. Stand up and vote for someone that will make Barack Obama the issue in this campaign.?
Continue ReadingSantorum?s hopes of becoming the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney faded as Gingrich surged to win the South Carolina primary on Saturday by a double-digit margin. The former Pennsylvania senator continues to make the case that he is more electable than Gingrich ? despite exit polls from this weekend that showed voters think otherwise.
?I have the best positive-negative rating of anybody in the race, but everybody keeps saying, ?He can?t win. Therefore, I?m not going to vote for him.? That?s called a self-fulfilling prophecy,? Santorum said.
?Gov. Romney says, ?I can win because I have the most money,?? he added. ?Does anyone doubt that whoever?s the nominee will have all the money they ever need to run against Barack Obama??
As Romney went aggressively after Gingrich on Monday, Santorum also attacked his one-time ally for never having run a competitive race as a congressman from Georgia. But he didn?t explicitly dredge up any personal matters ? such as Gingrich?s three marriages ? or the idea that the ex-speaker is erratic and worked Freddie Mac, lines of attack that Romney is promoting.
?He?s never run a race in a district where he needed one moderate, one independent or one Democrat to vote for him in order to win the election,? Santorum said. ?He had a congressional district in Georgia which was the most conservative one in the state: a suburban Atlanta district. Then he actually moved after redistricting into a more conservative congressional district because he was afraid he couldn?t win one that was Republican, but not overwhelmingly Republican, in order to hold onto his seat.?
Santorum also questioned Gingrich?s conservative bona-fides with even harsher language than he used during his first stop in the Sunshine State on Sunday.
