Santorum Wins!

How bout' my boy, huh?

How long have I been pushing him as the sensible alternative for Conservatives? Since Thanksgiving? At least since he was at 2% in Iowa, I know that.

I think there is a couple things going on here, but first - you're right Titus. While "Marxist" is a very specific standard that Obama definitionally doesn't meet, the label "socialist" undeniably describes both the man and his belief system.

Now on Santorum ... I do believe the Romney/Gingrich dust up has exposed both of their soft, big-government-tendency, underbellies. In comparison, Santorum has a consistent limited government record. And an unapologetic social conservative resume. And ironically, Obama attacking Catholicism in an election year could help give rise to a Roman Catholic challenger for his job.

By my count (per state delegate count not withstanding) Santorum has won 4 states; Romney 3; and Gingrich 1. Is it too early to start calling Rick the front runner?
