It's beginning to be fun watching little Ricky running around trying to salvage this campaign. First he recognizes that Bush is
political poison and runs the other direction.
Then he challenges Casey to a gazillion debates between now and the election.
Well today we have some details about what Santorum wants to know from Casey.
From
MSNBC's First Read
the Santorum campaign issued a statement challenging his Democratic Senate opponent, Bob Casey, Jr., on three questions: 1) Does he agree with DNC chair Howard Dean's statement that the United States can't win in Iraq? 2) Does he agree with past statements that MoveOn.org has made? 3) Is he willing to debate Santorum on Iraq and foreign policy? "Rick Santorum has been strong on his Iraq position, believing that the decision to topple Saddam Hussein's regime was the right decision for America's security," the statement said.
Ok, first of all, when did Rick Santorum decide he was Sean Hannity? All Hannity can do in a debate is pull up objectionable quotes from other people and ask his victim to defend them.
Second: "Rick Santorum has been strong on his Iraq position, believing that the decision to topple Saddam Hussein's regime was the right decision for America's security."???
Even First Read notes:
we recall Santorum not too long ago trying to put some distance between himself and Bush on Iraq. In November, he told reporters the conduct of the Iraq war was "less than optimal" and that the White House was partly to blame. And in August, after saying he had expressed private and public criticisms about the war, he was unable to locate a critical comment -- until his office finally produced one from a September 2004 newser.
Bye Rick, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
