“At this point Santorum is only in the race so that he can get several cable news ‘contributor’ gigs on cable tv”
It wasn’t that long ago (15 days!) that Santorum effectively won Iowa so I think at this point it is just the usual slowness of reality sinking in. Hopefully he will see the light after he finished 3rd or 4th in SC. But you never know. Is he the guy who said he would pick Newt to be his VP (in on of the earlier debates) or the guy who picked Specter over Toomey?
When Newt comes in behind Santorum as he did in Iowa and New Hampshire, what will the new McNewt talking point be? Oh yes, McNewt was ahead of Santorum in the polls leading up to both.
