Santorum in Heat

From HuffPo:

The latest poll of Iowa's likely Republican caucus-goers provides more evidence of a race headed toward a photo finish, with Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and a surging Rick Santorum running within two percentage points of each other.

To be honest, I'm a little shocked that everyone seems so surprised about the surging Santorum running toward Romney. While the media was busy ignoring our sticky little friend, Santorum was running in Iowa. Deprived of things like handlers or money or an actual campaign, Santorum chose to concentrate specifically on the Iowa caucus, and has been all over the state for months.

Could he win the poll on Tuesday? Maybe, but it looks more likely that he'll be a close third or second to Romney's win. But as the lower-performing Republicans are forced to drop out of the race (I'm looking at you, Bachmann), it looks as though Santorum will be one of the few who remain. A shot a the vice presidency, now, doesn't seem that far-fetched for our old pal.

This is good news.

You're here reading this disgusting and depraved blog, so I really shouldn't have to tell you that Rick Santorum is unelectable. You know that when a person's singular purpose in life seems to be to alienate as much of middle America as possible, they're not going to be able to win a national election. And whether he's making the claim that the Democratic base is struggling single mothers or insinuating that black people shouldn't be pro-choice because of slavery, nothing alienates people like Santorum.

No, it is not.

I say good for Rick. Let's spread that Santorum all over the GOP. Because while all the candidates are a bit pathetic, Rick Santorum is the dumbest bigot of them all, and I'm fairly certain that's not what most Americans are looking for in a president.
