I was accused of wearing a tin foil hat when I said earlier this week that Obama might have done this to help Santorum succeed in the primary. Obama might prefer to draw out the primary process because he figures if we settle on a candidate early, we can spend more time attacking him. The polls have definitely swayed to his favor since the Republicans have focused on attacking each other instead of him. Of course this move was also made to shore up his base at the expense of galvanizing his opposition, just like most things he’s been doing in the past year, and probably give his donations a shot in the arm.
