Why George Will is wrong...

Posted by Jerry Bader on

when he says neither Santorum nor Romney can beat President Obama and that it's time to focus on "Plan B," keeping control of the House and getting the Senate. I guess where there's a Will, there's no way. Or perhaps Will's strategy is surrender now and avoid the autumn rush. Bill Kristol at the Weekly Standard argues here why he thinks Will is wrong. 

Let me add this; I don't see this as an either or proposition. If you're running a single conservative agenda, you should be able to work for both. When it comes to allocation of assets, I still think that's true. But I think it's preposterous to argue in early March that the battle is lost. 

Nobody on the radio is more honest than I am when it comes to admitting a race is lost. I did so to the consternation of my listeners in 2006 and 2008, when the national hosts were annoying me with their "remain calm, all is well routine" when I could see the Texas-sized ass kicking coming. if I thought such an outcome was already inevitable, I would say so. It isn't perhaps Will is hoping his influenential column can lead to a self-fulfilling prophesy. Here's hoping it makes him look like a politically tone deaf horses ass.
