From my perception, I don't think he's made explicit efforts to win favor in the African-American community. Making speeches and making his presence felt at African-American events isn't a bad strategy , but if he's going to win, it's got to go beyond that. |
He's in the race now. There's more of this to come. |
If his goal is to win the governor's office, then Pennsylvania history and a number of other impediments make him a very long shot in 2006. If his goal is to foster a discussion [about reform], then it's probably a good strategic move. |
It gives him a boost in terms of the primary. The stars have lined up and given him an extra two weeks of free publicity. |
It will be a significant challenge for Santorum to show a divide between him and the White House. |
It's going to be hard for him to join that course of conservative dissent, ... If he does he might look again as someone pushing on the extreme. |
