I totally do not understand this surge for Santorum.

He was not THAT great a senator. He lost his last election by a large majority.

He’s got almost no zest, verve, charisma or personality.

He does not seem like a leader.

Has Iowa gone mad?? Or did they just hate everyone else?

---

He’s partly cashing in on the fallout from the blitz of anti-Newt ads run by Romney. Not to say Santorum isn’t a good man on the meat and potato issues. But the Newt vote had to go somewhere and they weren’t going to Mittens, that’s for sure.

Santorum is a fiscal, social and security conservative. His drawback is that he has a propensity to whine. If he can control that he can beat Obama.
