Advice to Santorum

Poll: Santorum’s Pennsylvania Lead Vanishes.

Excerpt:

Support for Rick Santorum in Pennsylvania is crumbling, according to a new Franklin and Marshall College Poll of the state he represented in Congress for 16 years.

Mr. Santorum, is statistically tied with Mitt Romney in the poll with a 30% to 28% lead, within the poll’s margin of error.

Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich came in with 9% and 6% respectively.

By contrast, the college’s February poll found Mr. Santorum with a commanding 45%-16% lead over the former Massachusetts governor.

The landscape changed significantly during the last month as support for Mr. Santorum has been dropping nationally, but Mr. Santorum has been banking on Pennsylvania’s April 24 primary to help keep his candidacy viable.

Comment: Advice to Santorum ... bow out after Wisconsin (April 3rd).

Santorum as Mitt's VP?

David Brody’s interview with Rick Santorum

 Excerpt:

David Brody: If he for some reason asks you to be the vice presidential candidate on his ticket? I know, after is all said and done. Would you even consider it?

Rick Santorum: Of course. I mean, look. I would do in this race as I always say, this is the most important race in our country’s history. I’m going to do everything I can. I’m doing everything I can.

Santorum shills for Ohio Art

Etch A Sketch sales jump 1500%

 Excerpt:

Mitt Romney's presidential hopes may have been shaken up when an aide compared his campaign to an "Etch A Sketch" toy, but the publicity blitz has been a delightful surprise for the U.S. makers of the well-known erasable children's art tablet.

Ohio Art, the low-key, family-run company that has made "Etch A Sketch" for half a century, saw its sales of the toy soar to 1,556 on Amazon.com within 24 hours of the gaffe. The company's thinly traded stock more than doubled, to $9.65.

Comment: I had an Etch A Sketch back in the sixties. The most I accomplished was to erase the entire screen to figure out how it worked. Ohio Art. Seriously Rick, it's time to wrap things up! I didn't know Ohio Art was publicly traded (as OART.PK)
