The Santorum Post-Mortum

Oh noes! So typical of a Carmel High School alum: Lake County favorite son Rick Santorum squandered what was widely believed to be an easy victory in the Iowa caucus.

As readers of this blog are mistakenly aware ...

Sanctum Santorum

Lake County operatives went to bed last night popping champagne corks and dreaming of K-street lobbying gigs and lucrative positions in a Santorum administration Treasury Department. They awoke this morning however to the dyspeptic news that Santorum lost by a landslide to Mitt Romney.

What went so terribly wrong? Now, every blogger with a sausage to slice has their explanation, but you're here for the unvarnished scoop and not some Internet baloney. It goes without saying that 99% of running president is looking like a president. So your LakeCountyEye wants to know ...

Does This Guy ...

Look Like a President?

Or Does He Look More Like ...

This Guy?

Does Santorum ...

Look Like This Guy?

Or More Like ...

These Guys?

The evidence is startling.

Some free advice to the operatives on the Santorum for President committee: schedule a big bonfire celebration outside your headquarters -- and stoke the flames with all those sweater vests in your candidate's closet. And when Lake County favorite son Rick Santorum becomes president he can thank your LakeCountyEye with a cabinet position. Secretary of Golf will do.
