“I’ve been watching you,” Dobson said to Santorum, with a quiet smile on his face. “We need you in the Oval Office.”

The numbers are just not there, and Dobson has a tin ear for politics. It will never happen, no matter what Dobson says. Better to be practical, than to idealistically go down in defeat.

Dobson's endorsement is a liability, plain as that.

Gallup tracking now has Gingrich at 25%, Santorum at 17% — within the margin of error, but admittedly at the hairy edge. Trending in Santorum’s direction though.

IN head-to-head with Obama, Gallup now has Gingrich trailing 53-41.

In swing-state comparisons a few days ago, Gringrich trailed Obama by 14%, 54-40, while Santorum only trails 7%, 51-44.

Rasmussen just did a poll that shows Santorum is now virtually tied with Obama, 46-48%, while Gingrich trails Obama by 8%.
