Reading through that story, it is mind altering that the ruling class would take a huge risk in losing with a person that has 31% of the respondents not knowing of him. They really must not want to win this thing or to make huge changes. Very alarming. Imo.

What do you think a campaign is for, if not to introduce yourself and your ideas to people who don't know you?

Everybody in the race had this problem from the outset -- except Romney (who ran in 2008) and Gingrich (who was the Speaker of the House).

Rush has a theory that the GOP elites simply want a candidate that wont blow there chances of gaining a super majority in the Senate and wont jepordize the house. Which was supposedly why they were so paniced about Gingrich. But I can see them sort of being ok with Santorum. They certainly wont fight like tooth and nails against him like they did Gingrich.
