Rick Santorum Surging In National Poll
Posted by Ashish on 02.09.2012
Is he your new frontrunner?
In a preview of their upcoming new national poll, Public Policy says Rick Santorum will be their new national leader in the poll. Pretty stunning and another reminder of how weak Romney's campaign remains. His only strength at this point is his massive financial advantage, but that is a big strength and one that should allow him to drown Santorum in attack ads by the time voting resumes on February 28th.
Interestingly enough, the poll also reveals that Santorum would be in dominating position if Gingrich were to drop out of the race. So at this point, Gingrich is actually helping Romney by staying in and siphoning off votes from Santorum. I'm sure he'll love that news.
All together now! Man-and-dog! Man-and-dog! Man-and-dog!

There has been proven vote fraud and it's never mentioned here. Isn't vote fraud sort of a big deal?

Gingrich is most likely staying in until he thinks Santorum has a chance, and will then offer to drop in exchange for a position in Santorum's administration. Politics as usual.

Ashish, why don't you explain the delegate process and how they are chosen? Especially in these non-binding states Santorum won where he likely will get no delegates at all after the state conventions?

Ah, Santorum's famous quote about “man-on-dog sex," prompting the greatest journalistic response ever, when the reporter told Santorum that he was “sort of freaking me out.”

If Gingrich doesn't rout Romney in the South, he should get out and support Mr. Frothy.

Rick Santorum is not getting the GOP nomination. He won straw polls. He didn't win any delegates. The results were all non-binding.

"Santorum is surging"... "Santorum blows out"... I don't buy the "left wing media conspiracy" bullshit, but if I did, seems to me the Santorum wins were just a way for the media to have a couple of weeks of double entendres...

"Rick Santorum is not getting the GOP nomination. He won straw polls. He didn't win any delegates. The results were all non-binding"
This whole "new challenger to Romney" thing is a total farce. Its partly media driven, and its partly the Tea Party folks feeling like Romney is being imposed on them by the "elite" Republicans. So they throw tempertantrums all the time just to cling to the power rush they got from 2010 midterms. They need to have their attention and ego stroke but will not ultimately force state party power brokers to commit political suicide in letting Gingrich or Santorum actually take the nomination.
Lets say I'm wrong. If Obama actually has to run against Santorum, I hope Obama goes all Great White Hype on it. Get all fat, show up to debates wearing sweatpants and smoke on stage. He would let Santorum speak and when asked for rebuttal say something like "Honky be crazy yo". And still win in a landslide.
