Ari Fleischer On CNN: I’m Ready To Say Santorum Could Gain The GOP Nomination
On Monday, CNN’s Anderson Cooper invited a panel consisting of former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, Red State’s Erick Erickson, and political communications expert Hilary Rosen to discuss Rick Santorum‘s comments regarding Barack Obama‘s “phony theology” and attitude towards man’s relationship to the environment.

Fleischer felt that Santorum had meant to attack Obama’s ideology — which can and should be fair game in political discourse — but that we should respect people’s theology and Santorum used some words that he shouldn’t have and probably will not use again in the future.
Erickson felt that it’s not the media focusing on Santorum’s theology so much as Santorum himself making theology an issue instead of focusing on things like jobs and the economy. “Leave the theology to a preacher,” he advised, suggesting that perhaps Santorum has a touch of “Gingrichitis.”
Rosen agreed with Erickson, adding that Santorum hasn’t given much attention to, say, his potentially popular tax plan.
Fleischer, however, believes that Santorum has energized and connected with the social wing of the Republican Party to the point that he could still very well nab the nomination.
