President Obama’s senior adviser Robert Gibbs was asked Sunday to size up Rick Santorum’s odds of winning the nomination — and had a very interesting response that took some obvious shots at Mitt Romney.
“I don’t think Tuesday is going to be a clarifying event in the Republican primary,” Gibbs said on CNN’s State of the Union. “I think, because of the way delegates are apportioned, this is going to go on for weeks and weeks. And I think he’s got a legitimate change to be the Republican nominee. He’s clearly somebody who has a very different economic background than Mitt Romney. He’s somebody that is — he’s blue collar. He’s from Pennsylvania. He’s not worth 250 million dollars. And I assume his wife doesn’t have several cadillacs.”
“So I think he clearly brings a little bit difference challenge.”
