Good luck to the Rickster. I don't believe he has much chance of being elected president but I'd love to be proven wrong.
I really wish they found out he won Iowa on caucus night vs 3 weeks later. He was denied so much momentum last time. How on earth does our country count votes so slowly? UK counts everything on election night and we can't count a caucus!!
Winning Iowa still wouldn't have helped much with the bigger challenge: the general election. I probably would have voted for Santorum if I thought he had a chance of beating Obama. I didn't think he really did, so I sat out the 2012 Republican Primary and voted instead in the Democratic Primary for local races. I'm not yet to the point of saying, 'to heck with the Republican Party I just want to stand for something.' I still think a goal should be winning too.
Maybe I'm wrong and Santorum can bring out the 60 yr old retired Polish-American auto worker Church bingo-night crowd in Parma that has been eluding the GOP since Reagan. That's the path Santorum would have to travel to victory. He's yet to show an ability to do that: he lost most of the blue collar Midwestern areas to Romney in the primary so I have trouble seeing him take them in the general. He'd lose the swingy suburbs too, so that needs to be compensated somewhere. I just don't see the numbers adding up. I'd like to but I don't. Again, prove me wrong, Senator Santorum.
