This is what's showing in the mainstream media today:
Rick Santorum is absolutely right. It's bullshit. The reporter was taking his remarks out of context and trying to reduce them to pablum for an audience that has a sixth grade education, and in doing so was losing the essence of Santorum's attack - that Romney is basically the same as Obama when it comes to the health care law.
But the message here doesn't matter. The meltdown does. That's what's going to be played over and over from here on. That's what's going to end Santorum's campaign, and in all likelihood, his chances to be the candidate for Vice President as well. You would think it would be all the other disgusting and horrible shit he's said over his career, but that's not the way this game works.
So, congratulations to Mitt Romney for being the Last Idiot Standing. Now let's see how he does in the general election. My guess is, not so well as he did in the primaries.
Edit Not the biggest fan of the New York Daily News, but "Santorum explodes on New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny" is one of the better headlines I've seen.
