The mainline church people aren't his voters (never mind his base).ploeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248826561069733693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-19867463067337739862012-02-22T07:38:33.004-05:002012-02-22T07:38:33.004-05:00It's like reading a fantasy novel.

I think it might be different in the days before a primary (or at least in a non-Southern primary), when reporters are on the ground can actually go into a mainline church and interview the people insulted.Steve M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11963290427258439242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-53549211123700306772012-02-21T23:37:16.137-05:002012-02-21T23:37:16.137-05:00Just to be clear: to the extent that it is damagin...Just to be clear: to the extent that it is damaging within the GOP primary, it's damaging because he's naming Satan. (Obviously, having his surrogates call that wacko entails huge risks for Romney. But that's another story.) It's not damaging because it attacks mainline Protestant denominations. As I explained previously, there is no downside (within the GOP) for Santorum to attack the mainline Protestants (anyone who could conceivably object is already backing Romney).Tom Hiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17575511424823512042noreply@blogger.com
