I think the media may be behind the latest attention given to Santorum. The “surge” may be timed in order to dilute the opposition to Romney in Iowa. I just did a quick scan of this thread and I notice that everyone is fighting between Gingrich, Paul, and Santorum. Nobody is throwing rocks at Romney or even comparing Santorum to Romney.
I guess we are properly distracted and diluted. :(
Bingo!
