With 45 percent of Iowa Republican voters undecided and a roller-coaster ride about to come to a screeching stop next Tuesday with the GOP caucuses, it may be Rick Santorum's turn to take the final ascent and surprise the political class by ... doing better than expected?
Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, has been touted as the sleeper candidate by none other than 2008 Iowa caucuses winner Mike Huckabee. He has relentlessly campaigned in the state, hitting all 99 counties and moving his family out there. He has held 350 campaign events in the past year.

Nothing would please me more. I’ve been hoping for it to happen since before the Cain Train left the station, not to mention derail.
The Romney Network speaks. Nobody listens, at least not me.
No. He’s finished.
Bless his heart, he has the right attitude. But I get the idea he isn’t too bright.
My wife says he's too whiney and immature, and I agree.
He's a Republican for goodness sakes. Why would anyone expect anything different?
My husband’s wife (me) says Santorum is a superhero, because he’s not afraid to say what’s on his mind.
“RUSH: Let’s talk about Obama. I’ve talked to a couple, not a whole lot, but a couple of potential, some have announced, some haven’t, Republican presidential nominees, and almost all of them, Rick, said to me, “Rush, we can’t attack Obama. We can attack his policies, and we should, and we’ve gotta go after his policies, but we cannot be critical of Obama.” What is your reaction to that thinking?
SANTORUM: Well, I don’t know. I mean I’m going to attack the president when he’s wrong and when he does things that I think are against the interests of our country. My feeling is we haven’t talked about the national security. When the president of the United States goes out and apologizes for America, when he goes out and seems to embrace or even bow to foreign leaders, when he does things that I think make us weaker in the eyes of our enemies and make us unreliable in the eyes of our friends, I’m gonna attack him and I’m gonna attack what he does. Look, I didn’t defeat and knock out three Democratic incumbents by not going after my opponent and making sure that they knew that they were gonna be held accountable for everything they did and said.
RUSH: Well, what they mean is, he’s the first black president, and they don’t want to be called racist, and so they can’t be seen as attacking Obama personally. Of course, I — I’m going to inject myself in this, imagine that — I don’t know how you separate somebody from their policies.”
