Why are Jindal, Gilmore, and Santorum wasting our time?

[Renew Deal]

Jindal is an unpopular failed governor.

Gilmore is about as relevant as Gravel was in 2008.

Santorum is a repeat loser that needs to maintain his media profile.

Their candidacies are unjustifiable and unneeded.

1. Santorum won 11 states last time around, including Iowa,

and came in 2nd to Mitt.

He is as reasonable a candidate as anybody, considering who the "anybody" consists of.

3. He also hasn't won an election since 2000.

2. Santorum was second place last round

I am sure he thinks he might win. He won't but that won't stop him. The others for name recognition. We have always had long shots on both sides who just want exposure.

4. Their barnyard...not ours

5. Let's be honest. All republicans are a waste of time.

6. Thom Hartman addressed this. Running as a puke is an incredible cash cow

Lindsy Graham has become a multi millionair doing it.

edited tro add; just look at Snow Snookie.

10. They're building their brand for FOX appearances or contracts, RW circuit speeches,

and RW bulk book sales. Same as Huckabee and, in 2012, Gingrich and others.
