Campaign Disorganization Puts Santorum Behind

Campaign Disorganization Puts Santorum Behind

(AP) — Almost as soon as Rick Santorum’s advisers outlined a new strategy for staying on message after he lost to Mitt Romney in Michigan, it was abandoned, a victim of the disorganization that’s marked his campaign and raised questions about his ability to compete against Romney over the long haul.

“They could be much better on discipline,” said Republican operative Michael Dennehy, a top aide for Sen. John McCain four years ago. “They‘ve been very open about their change in messaging after Tuesday’s election. It lasted about 12 hours.”

Romney is almost painfully consistent when pounding his message about jobs and the economy. The Santorum campaign says the former Pennsylvania senator is the lone candidate in the Republican race who has the courage to talk about all the issues – from female contraception to Iran and everything in between.

That’s where Santorum stumbled in Michigan. His team blamed unflattering media coverage but conceded that their candidate suffered from the perception that he was off message when he defended polarizing comments questioning the value of higher education, the separation of church and state, and even Satan’s influence on America. Eventually Santorum lost the state to Romney by just 3 percentage points.

A new approach guided Santorum’s primary night speech. In a hotel ballroom in Grand Rapids, Mich., he began talking more about his working-class background, particularly the women who have influenced him. He explained how his mother, a former nurse who worked throughout his childhood, “taught me a lot of things about how to balance work and family, and doing it well, and doing it with a big heart and commitment.”

The change in message was intended in part to contrast Santorum with Romney, who grew up with wealth and privilege as the son of a governor and auto executive. Widely covered by the media, Santorum’s remarks that night also helped to humanize a man who has drawn fire for questioning the role of women in the workforce and the military. Polling suggests that Santorum’s loss was caused, in part, because Romney fared better with female voters.

“He is always going to have to struggle by responding to misperceptions that are out there,” top adviser John Brabender told a handful of reporters after the Michigan loss became official. “The way that you solve that sometimes is to let people into your life and see a picture of you that you don’t always share.”

It was a strategy widely viewed as smart – and it didn’t last.

As Santorum crisscrossed the country to rally voters ahead of Super Tuesday, talk of his mother seemed forgotten. He offered passing references to his coal-mining grandfather, as he has for months. Instead of a new emphasis on his personal background, he seized upon Romney’s apparent misstep on contraception policy, delivered sometimes rambling speeches about health savings accounts with college students in Nashville, Tenn., and defended Ronald Reagan’s fight against evil during an appearance at a church in Spokane, Wash.

At the American Croatian Lodge in Willoughby, Ohio, Santorum said it was impossible to talk about the economy without talking about the importance of two-parent families.

“Go to the areas of Cleveland where you don’t see any dads. What do you see? Do you see freedom? Do you see opportunity?” he asked during his Friday night appearance. “Do you see jobs? Do you see police? Do you see government? Everywhere. That’s the reality.”

Santorum treats his seat-of-the-pants campaign style like a badge of honor, often mentioning that he doesn’t employ a campaign pollster. Aides marvel at his ability to deliver lengthy speeches and even major addresses while drawing only from a handwritten list of basic points, if any notes at all.

Even he acknowledges his speaking style has its pitfalls, citing as an example his dismissal of President Barack Obama as “a snob” for promoting higher education.

“I used the term `snob.’ You know, it was a – it was a strong term, probably not the smartest thing,” Santorum said. “But you know what? I don’t give prepared talking point speeches written by other people. I got a little passionate there and I used a harsher word than I normally would.”

Republican operative Todd Harris says it’s important – and increasing difficulty – for a campaign to control its message with the rise of super PACs, outside groups, tabloid political journalism and instant news cycles

“About the only thing you can control is what comes out of the candidate’s mouth,” Harris says. “Except when you can’t.”

Rival Romney‘s campaign has seized on another consequence of Santorum’s disorganization: his delegate problem. The former Pennsylvania senator didn‘t file paperwork properly and is eligible for only 45 of Ohio’s 63 delegates up for grabs Tuesday, according to the Romney campaign. Santorum also isn‘t on the ballot in Virginia and won’t be eligible for all of the delegates in several other states that vote after Super Tuesday.

“In a basic organizational test needed to combat Obama, he’s flunked,” Romney campaign general counsel Ben Ginsberg said on a Saturday conference call.

    Unfortunately for some of you here on the blog, the only person I am hearing with negative ads is Rickie Santorum! Unfortunately for him they are disgusting and gives people nothing but a bunch of ridiculous lies. Rickie is the one who hasn’t a clue what he stands for as he keeps talking about conservative values—he may have the values of conservatives, but most of his ideas are far, far from conservative—-he is a big union man which most conservatives don’t support and the union people are in the bag for Obama. Rickie is just like Newtie—will say anything that will get him votes even if the words are nothing but lies! Neither of them will get my vote!

      Sheris- you are so very right: if anyone thinks Santorum is ‘pro America’, they should check his record on the Constitution and Bill of RIghts… there is no difference between Santorum and the POS currently in the White House.
      What’s Santorum;s stance on the Constitution? The same as BHO’s.
      What’s Santorum;s stance on the Bill of Rights (especially the Second Amendment)? The same as BHO’s.

      Amatures, Amature, Amatures – Welcome to your first Presidential Election. Can anyone just wait until Tuesday. This Tuesday is going to be identical to when Reagan (hated by the polls, and the Main Street Media ( however it they weren’t as bad then as they are now) took the race and never looked back.

      AP, UP, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC wants Obama to get a second term – so they what Republicans to vote Romney – assuring Obama wins a 2nd term.

      After Tuesday – it will be a two man race Santorum and Romney – also remember Texas is not participating in this Super Tuesday – Santorum will win the 175 Texas Delegate from Texas – Why because you have to be a Republican to vote in the Republican Primaries in Texas.

      I feel Sanatorium will take the Republican Nomination – making the Drive By Media mad, Democrats Mad and Obama Mad – Americans will be Glad – except for Ron Paul Supporters – nothing can make them happy – they were hoping to get legalized pot out of the deal.

      it doesn’t matter who wrote it, the facts are the facts. Santorum needs to get his act together. he would have wiped the floor with Romney if he was disciplined and stayed on message. but instead he went out into the weeds and called Obama a snob.

      to all those Santorum supporters out there you need to stop blaming his fall on the media, Romney or the 12th phase of the moon. it is because of his lack of leadership that he can’t get all the delegates in OH. it is because of his lack of discipline that he went off into the weeds and said the snob and puke comment.

      the fact is that HE is disorganized and it is hurting him.

      Unfortunately the non-Romney vote is being split three ways, making it difficult to out vote him. If you take Santorum’s votes combined with either Gingrich or Paul, he comes out ahead. Conservatives need to rally behind one candidate, otherwise we’re going to be stuck with Romney.

    None of these candidates is ideal but I’m looking for the one who will do the least amount of damage because all our statesmen are gone, folks. There are no more George Washingtons or Abraham Lincolns or John Adams or Thomas Jeffersons. They were uniquely ahead of their time & while I’m sure they had their flaws, they put this country first & foremost. We will never see their like again. Why? Because it takes a special kind of dedication & character & maturity to see it through & none of those guys would condone the type of activity engaged in by our current lawmaker/oathbreakers. Lincoln was a common sense country lawyer & he would be appalled at what is commonly termed an attorney nowadays. Washington was a landowner & general. Adams ran orchards & was well read. Jefferson was a gentlemen & a scholar. All of these men granted that not one of them was better than any other & the very diversity of their skills & talents was what made them successful, not elite. What a concept… That all men of all trades are necessary for a country to be & a nation be successful. Santorum at least comes from similar values even if he does not completely understand that his government record thus far does not demonstrate that he will always do the right thing. If you want to rate them all on that basis, then none of them need apply for the job because not one of them has done right by the people of this nation. Not one & not once.

    I think Santorum needs to simplify his campaign, but I don’t see him as behind. This is just the primaries & they don’t mean as much as the real deal. I don’t want Romney. I want the real deal, a real American & if the man stumbles a little over his working class values & family loyalties, so be it. At least he has them & can understand the concerns real working people have. I believe the media is out to make him look bad & Romney has some questions in his past he needs to clear up or answer for until you convince me he’s even eligible to run. There’s some question as to the legitimacy of his grandparents to even claim citizen status & he needs to make sure the paperwork is clear & on file before he starts in on Obama for anything. There aren’t any such concerns about Santorum. Romney is too typical of big business politicians in it for their own profit & we don’t need another one of those. We can’t afford any more of those. I know for a fact he’s a crook, so he never had my vote to begin with. He’ll never have it. I‘ll write in Santorum before I vote for any other candidate because I’m done voting someone else’s choice for me. The harder they push for Romney, the more I know he’s not the right candidate for this country. The Bush’s have enough money & Romney’s cronies have enough money. Why don’t they just go live somewhere else & leave the nation to those of us who truly love it & are willing to work to build it up instead of tear it down for profit.

    I hate the part of this article where in it basically states that Santorum is or has been trying to contrast himself as having working class values and being of a working class back ground and Romney came from a family of wealth and privilege. First things first, Romney’s father started from the very bottom (didn’t even go to college) and worked his way up to be a CEO of a company and later a governor. That is an American success story. If I were Romney I would be proud of that, and as a voter I ought to consider the good values that were apart of such a family and therefore the value of a progenitor of said family. And lastly, there isn’t any thing wrong with having material wealth so unless you want to be a class antagonist….. that line of the article should be irrelevant. Other wise join the Marxist Party USA or the Democratic Party.

That kind of creativity I want to bring to everything we do.”

      MArtinez, it is dolts as yourself who call Romney a progressive who have no idea what a progressive even is. No offense man, but seriously, Romney seriously doesn’t have the cognitive complexity to be a progressive. HE even said he was one once, having no idea what in the world one was. Progressives are the globalist, the Clintons, Newt Gingrich is a fine example, Rockefeller, and all those who dream up these idea’s which they have determined are the greatest intellectual solution concerning the evolving of civilization. These are men and women who dream up ideas such as population control through efforts presented as helping the people. Always, they are looking to lay down policy‘s and laws which they don’t believe apply to them, but are for us, and seriously believe it is for our own good. A true progressive is a mix between the liberal intellect, the crony capitalist, and the globalist with the sole intention of gaining power and control for their own. But I digress, I assure you, Romney is far to much of a capitalist to be a progressive. Don’t forget, just because Romney isn’t able to talk about his deep seeded commitment to faith( because of the severely negative opposition of certain Christians) shouldn‘t be a signal that he isn’t committed to Christian principals, and this is another factor that doesn’t mesh with progressivism.

    It seems that it won‘t be too long before Rick Santorum’s campaign ends up falling apart like a delicate house of cards. His history of corruption as then-Pennsylvanian Senator, his atrocious voting record, his wanton idea of establishing a theocracy, and, more recently, calling Barack Obama a “snob” for promoting the idea of going to college really has done a serious number on him. From the looks of it, Rick Santorum’s chance of advancing further in the presidential race is astronomical.
    But then again, since he did fail to file in the necessary paperwork to obtain several state ballots, Rick Santorum really has no chance of winning the presidential race, anyway. Yes, this is the moment in which I actually agree with Mitt Romney, for once (that isn‘t to say that he’ll be getting my vote anytime soon). Therefore, the presidential race is actually between Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, and I already know who to vote for: the candidate who will take his oath of abiding by and defending the Constitution seriously. One of those candidates has a 30-plus-year voting record aligning with the Constitution as proof of his unwavering principles of liberty.

    It’s so nice now that the Michigan primary is over. We’re not being subjected to article after article by the Blaze staff pushing Santorum. They know it’s over for the guy.

      Maybe it is over for him. Too bad. What kind of “thank you” will Romney give to Newt’s ego for securing the nomination for Romney, I wonder.

    Trouble in New Jersey too. With just three weeks left, they decide to collect signatures to get Santorun on the ballot. About 10 days left, and haven’t seen any petitions. Romney won the 2008 primary, but as I‘ve stated before Romney’s strenght is in States that don’t vote Republican in the General Election.

      Maybe Michael Moore and Ben & Jerry can help out? The AFL-CIO can bus in some auto workers.

    If it’s the end, Obama will be elected. If not, He can still put Santorum in place.

    Santorum is a good man and could potentially still make a good President, but he had better get his ground game together soon – like yesterday.

    Political Prayer:
    “It is January 20th, 2013.
    Rick Santorum is being sworn in as the new President of the United States.
    I give thanks to you Almighty God, for your blessings! Thank you, Lord.”
    I see it. I feel it. I believe it. It is so.

    “They could be much better on discipline,” said Republican operative Michael Dennehy, a top aide for Sen. John McCain four years ago.
