Rick Santorum deviated from the party line this weekend when he suggested that an improving economy could damage Republicans’ chances in November. Santorum, whose campaign has helped bring social issues to the fore this year, let slip Saturday that the economy might not be a winning issue — or even the main issue during the election.
“You hear now the media starting to say, oh well, looks like the economy is getting better,” Santorum told supporters in Missouri Saturday night after winning the Kansas caucuses. “You know, the economy may be getting better and Republicans may lose their edge on that issue. Well, if that was the only issue in this race, that may or may not be the case, we don’t know.”
So, you wonder why Republicans are so busy playing the gender, race, and class cards so far in 2012 as the economic news begins to improve? Remember in October the economy was the most important issue and it's all that mattered to both the "liberal media" and to the GOP. Now all of a sudden it's all about birth control, same-sex marriage, and hugging Harvard professors.
Wondering why Republicans no longer want to talk to voters about jobs and economy anymore? I'm not. Santorum has given the game away, too.
