Handicapping the presidential sweepstakes and the new social issues narrative
By Norman Leahy | Monday, February 20th, 2012 | Podcasts, Policy, Politics, VirginiaDr. Bob Holsworth joins me to talk about the Republican presidential contest — the rise of Rick Santorum, and the strength, for now, of the social conservative narrative…Mitt’s muddling and stumbling through the western states…Newt Gingrich’s fast fade, and why Ron Paul just can’t seem to translate the energy behind his following into a wining streak (so far).
We also take a quick look at Virginia’s Senate race and how the President’s contraceptive gambit might backfire on him.
“The Score” is Bearing Drift radio, and can be heard on these broadcast stations and online talk networks, in addition to being available right here, on demand, at Bearing Drift.
