“This is how the Republicans operate,” sighs a veteran GOP campaign manager close to Santorum. “Even if you agree with their agenda, they’ll abandon you if you’re behind in the polls and move on to the next-most important race.”
Increasingly dubious about Santorum’s chances, Capitol Hill sources report GOP powerbrokers have refocused their attentions—and dollars—on Doug Forrester, a little-known party hack who’s currently embroiled in a dead heat race with multi-millionaire Democrat Jon Corzine for New Jersey’s governorship.
“The party is pouring millions of dollars in PAC money into Forrester’s coffers, but most of that money was previously earmarked for Rick,” reports a well-placed Republican senate staffer. “It’s disgusting. Rick used to be Bush’s biggest booster on issues like stem-cell research, Social Security, and the Iraq war. Now the White House won’t even take his phone calls.” [emphasis mine]
The Senate will be a much better place without Santorum in it. Hell, anyplace is a better place without little Ricky around. The guy is bat-shit crazy. He once took a dead fetus home for his children to meet before they buried it.
It's also good to see that the republicans are wasting their money on Doug Forrester. I don't care what the polls say now, Corzine will win the New Jersey governorship by eight to ten points. New Jersey polls always seem to tighten in October before succumbing to sweet blueness.
