Peggy Noonan: "The GOP's Death Star"

Peggy Noonan: "Nobody in the conservative base hates Rick. Newt is hated by many and Mitt by some. Mr. Santorum is liked. He has real indignation about what's happened to America, and he brings passion to his ideas about reform. He's got little money, little organization -- there's no broad assumption he can pull it off. And by the time the Romney campaign is done dismantling him, he may have some people who hate him. But this will only underscore the Romney campaign's reputation for destroying, not creating. And nobody loves a Death Star."

I picture her closing her eyes and swooning as her personal assistant reads her words back to her.

"As you can see, my young challenger Santorum, your fundamentalist rightwing friends have failed. Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL political smear campaign!"
