It's Halftime, America

On Tuesday, GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney dominated the Republican primaries, sweeping the primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland, and Washington DC. This is practically a death blow to the Santorum campaign, and pretty much everybody is aware.

Everyone, that is, except Rick Santorum.

In a speech after the primaries, Santorum stated, "It's halftime" and that he was ready to "storm out of the locker room" for the second half. To further accentuate his claims, Santorum appealed to the Ethos of the Republican god, Ronald Reagan.

Santorum recalled the fact that in 1976, Reagan hadn't won a single primary until May, and was able to take the race all the way to the GOP national convention, where he eventually lost. This, he claims, resulted in a loss in the general election.

Of course, the logos Santorum's argument is inherently flawed, as comparing himself to Reagan in '76 is basically saying he is going to divide the party and help Obama win the general election.

Though, Santorum did go on to say that in 1980, the GOP finally nominated Reagan, and he eventually won the general election. He continued, saying it was a mistake in 1976 to not elect Reagan, and it would be a mistake to wait until 2016 to elect Santorum.

Santorum actually believes that he is going to win the nomination, and will continue fighting until the end. This will likely create further parity inside the GOP, and could hurt Romney's chances at election. This reveals that Santorum's logos in regards to the whole election process is completely flawed, and by doing this, he is actually helping President Obama closer to victory.
