None of them generate much excitement overall, but Santorum does energize the conservative base more than the others.

It appears Gingrich has run his course and is losing relevancy, except to draw support from Santorum. Plus, Newt is double-digits behind Obama in every swing state. His negatives are way too high to be competitive.

Incorrect. Newt increased turnout in SC by about 35% when he won. The other states have been flat or with decreased turnout. Newt's been the only one to offer anything fresh and exciting into the race.

It appeared after Iowa that Santorum had run his course and was losing relevancy, except to draw support from Gingrich.

Plus, Newt is double-digits behind Obama in every swing state. His negatives are way too high to be competitive.

Polls right now are utterly meaningless. They've been meaningless even mere days before some of these primaries, so why you would reference them in relation to an election NINE MONTHS AWAY is hard to imagine. Obama's ahead of all of our candidates right now. Maybe we should just give up or just let Ron Paul and his crew have this one just to get it out of his system.
