I totally do not understand this surge for Santorum.

He was not THAT great a senator. He lost his last election by a large majority.

He’s got almost no zest, verve, charisma or personality.

He does not seem like a leader.

Has Iowa gone mad?? Or did they just hate everyone else?

I’d bet there are more Santorum than Perry supporters on FR. So are you saying FR has gone mad also?

He’s partly cashing in on the fallout from the blitz of anti-Newt ads run by Romney. Not to say Santorum isn’t a good man on the meat and potato issues. But the Newt vote had to go somewhere and they weren’t going to Mittens, that’s for sure.

Santorum is conservative and has character. Ask the “Great One” Mark Levin who would pull his lever in VA as would I.

Yes, Iowa voted for the Huckster last time, remember?

Well lets’ see.

Zest - Herman Cain
Leader - Herman Cain
Charisma - Herman Cain
Personality - Herman Cain.

Ballot? I don’t see any Herman Cain on it.

Santorum is simply the most conservative man left on the ballot. If you want zest and charisma - go with Herman Cain. Since he’s not available (sold out), so they say, you grab yourself some Santorum instead. Filling, nutritious. :)

The weird thing is, Romney, Paul, Santorum and Gingrich are simply cults of personality. None of them actually run anything and excepting Paul have been out of office too long.

All armchair quarterbacks except for Perry.

Me neither. I couldn't believe it this morning when I heard that Rupert Murdock was endorsing Santorum?

They just hate everyone else. One hatred that is not rational (others may not be either) is the one towards Newt. He really is a conservative and a great leader.
