While I can’t help watching it unfold on TV, I nonetheless don’t want to watch the very close Ohio primary. That’e because even though I’m anti-Santorum, I’m not for Romney. So I have been amusing myself by flipping back and forth between CNN and Fox, and I have noticed a pattern that neither would admit, but which I can see in the faces of the announcers.
CNN is clearly pulling for Santorum, while Fox is pulling for Romney.
So what’s up with that?

Clearly, the Left prefers Santorum because he turns off Libertarians and Independents. Romney is “good enough” and then there were the string of dramatic Not-Romney candidates that were paraded before the TV viewers. It was kind of disgusting to watch the media pull the strings for this primary. All I can do is vote Syphilitic Camel in 2012 and hope Rand Paul runs in 2016.
CNN wants Santorum because they miss bashing the Moral Majority and they figure he’ll be easier to demonize to get their God-President re-elected.
Fox wants Romney because he’s the establishment GOP pick and they’re all about the establishment. They were rooting for him last time too.
Of course, I say that while not watching either on. I just can’t take cable news anymore.
Sorry couldn’t watch. No cable.
Over the air for me.
Multiple polls and conventional wisdom suggest that Santorum would be much less competitive against Obama than Romney. Analytical conservatives grudgingly believe this (I don’t mean the “fake conservatives can’t beat Obama!!” types). Liberals believe this which is why they have been voting for Santorum in open primaries (google “Operation Hilarity”). And both CNN and Fox are betraying that they believe this by their coverages.
