Give it time. All Santorum needs to have happen is for the Gingrich, Bachmann, and Perry campaigns to blow up again. This time spectacularly and irretrievably. After which, he needs for Palin to not then decide her decision not to get in, and at that point he will be sitting pretty. This nomination has always been about Romney vs. “not Romney” (I wish I had trademarked that six months ago), and it still is, regardless of what Gingrich is saying.

If Perry and Bachmann were going to make any comebacks, it would have been within the last month during the allegations against Cain. After the allegations, Perry was still dropped and Bachmann still stayed about the same. You have to remember that the reasons why people bailed on Bachmann and Perry still exist and have not changed.

If Santorum can't make any gains after the next debate in 4-5 days, I don't see him rising enough before Iowa.

Santorum doesn't have the problems that Bachmann and Perry do, but then again, Santorum can't even carry his own state.

I'm not happy about it, but Gingrich is in a good spot and out of all of the candidates, he's the best at defending his record and personal life.
