I know how I felt when Cain got pushed out. I was disgusted with the whole process. The Santorum came out of nowhere and won Iowa. Forced me to go whoa - what’s happening here?

That's what got you to jump on the Santorum bandwagon? Well, alright, but his Iowa win was entirely unconvincing to me, because it was in direct conflict with his established polling trend.

Now that we're passed New Hampshire, that spike Santorum enjoyed, is eroding rapidly. That's not what should be happening to a candidate who's got a solid base of national support. He should be polling at least at number two right now, and he should have done much better in New Hampshire, as well.

I'm sorry, but I've watched Santorum since the primary began, and he's never struck me as anything more than a second tier candidate, for a laundry list of reasons.

That’s exactly it. No more, no less.

I always liked Santorum, he was my second choice after Cain. Then I began to realize that a whole bunch of other folks felt the same way that I did, and they were willing to stick their necks out and push him out there.

I looked at the numbers, and the numbers show Santorum as the choice of the conservative voters, not just in Iowa but in NH too.

I don’t presume to understand it. It’s just the way things are today. The race has changed - for the better.
