Encouraging News (Santorum closing fast)

Encouraging News [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

Even I, "raging Santorum enthusiast," wasn't too into that poll circulating earlier today that had Senator Santorum him down 4, for reasons I've mentioned.

But maybe that "4" wasn't insane. I'm told by a good, albeit Republican, source that Gov. Rendell's latest internals have Santorum only 5 behind.

I'm told he had Santorum at 9 on Friday and 17 three weeks ago.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, this race is in play. The innane analysis is that turnout means everything. But it couldn't be more true in the Keystone state. Conservatives in Pennsylvania can make a big difference tomorrow — between winning and losing a leader.

I was under the impression that those were Kathryn's words.

You're right Wolf. I shouldn't leap to conclusions like that.

What happened to the 'strong closer'?????

We were led to believe that Santorum was within 5 points.

Casey won 59% to Santorum's 41%. Talk about a blowout!!! How do you explain the difference between expectation and reality?

It was worse than any of us could have imagined.
