You blames Santorum because Romney’s ahead. Yet the real fix to that is for Perry to drop out. Yet, u do not call for Perry to drop out. That is the logical solution, Right?
It's just too late for Santorum.
Look at it this way... Perry had his surge in September.. had millions and millions on hand and still couldn't get things together quick enough to even get on the Virginia ballot. Gingrich surged in December, and couldn't either.
Santorum is surging in January... 3 months from now he will have as much organization as Perry has now and 2 months from now as much as Gingrich.
3 months from now all the following states will have already voted:
1/3 Iowa caucuses
1/10 New Hampshire
1/21 South Carolina
1/31 Florida
2/4 Nevada
2/4 Maine
2/7 Minnesota
2/7 Colorado
2/28 Michigan
2/28 Arizona
3/3 Washington
3/6 Ohio
3/6 Alaska
3/6 Georgia
3/6 Massachusetts
3/6 north dakota
3/6 Oklahoma
3/6 Tennessee
3/6 Texas
3/6 Vermont
3/6 Virginia
3/6 Idaho
3/6 wyoming
3/10 kansas
3/10 virgin islands
3/13 Alabama
3/13 Mississippi
3/13 Hawaii
3/17 Missouri
3/20 Illinois
3/24 Louisiana
4/3 Maryland
4/3 District of Columbia
4/3 Wisconsin (moved from Feb 21st)
So how is Santorum going to win, if by the time he gets to Perry's current level of organization most of the voting has already happened?
He doesn't. Which means if Santorum doesn't implode soon Romney walks to the nomination.
