Santorum in Missouri this week:
“If you look at where my Republican opponent has won, it’s always in and around the cities. It almost looks like a Republican versus a Democrat,” Santorum said, referring to some states that he did not explicitly name. “He’s winning the areas the Democrats win and I win the areas Republicans win.”
Santorum paused for a moment. “Does that tell you something maybe?”
Does he not really understand that areas Republicans win are not areas that will be contested in the fall? Does Rick Santorum think you win elections by sticking only with the voters that won't consider voting for a Democrat? Find a better argument, Rick, or you're going to get destroyed by the large swath of voters who are voting first and foremost on electability.

Really. Then explain this:

Oh yeah? Then how do you explain the latest Rasmussen poll? "President Obama now trails former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum by four points in a hypothetical 2012 matchup in combined polling of key swing states Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. Obama remains ahead of Romney 46% to 42%, showing no change from last week. "
I can't explain it, any more than I could explain why someone wouldn't get the point of what I was saying. The Republican can generally count on Republican support in the fall. He won't win without Independent support, like those folks in the cities Santorum refers to.
