Open Question: Was I wrong in my presidential prediction?

I predicted santorum would win Iowa I predicted newt would win south Carolina I then predicted which ever of those two won Florida would be the nominee. I was wrong mitt won Florida. What I missed was I didn't think mitt would spend 17 million on misleading sometimes lying negative democrate like ads against newt and If he did I didn't think republicans are dumb enough to fall for them. I was wrong in Florida. Mitt may have destroyed newt but in so doing that he catapulted santorum to the top. So here is my next prediction. Mitt and Obama's media and gray shirts will do an all out attack of negative BS unimportant nonsense against santorum and I don't think it works. Why because santorum appears to be an alter boy clean consistent and stable. He isn't perfect nobody is, he supported the turncoat senator, voted against union monopolies, voted for earmarks. All mistakes. However he voted against the wallstreet bailout, against healthcare mandate and top down regulations, he never was fooled by the AGW hoax, and spoke out against the wallstreet bailout. It's these positions that have hurt newt and mitt. What do you think? Will the negative democrat like attack ads work against santorum voters? Or are republicans smarter than that?... Read More »
