NOTE:
Nate Silver’s model currently gives Mr. Santorum a 7 percent chance of winning the caucuses, while the betting market Intrade gives him a 9 percent chance.
Oh well, I guess it's the only show in town.
How long?
Until the liberal media and other republicans start ganging up on him.
Before any Mitt bots smear Santorum, I’ll point out Mitt seems to be carefully imitating John Edwards’ hairdo.
Nobody likes John Edwards.
Too late for Santorum. Maybe if everyone got behind him 2 months ago, he could have made a push. But now its too late. He doesnt have the ground game across the country nor the money to compete.
It’s going to be Romney unless Gingrich somehow stops him. That’s just simply where the race is at.
One thing the Romney and Paul supporters have that no conservative in the race has....LOYALTY! Conservatives will lose this election because they spent all summer and fall jumping from one candidate to another in search of perfection. Perfection that was never found.
Have you ever heard the term “concern troll”?
Probably not, since you seem to have just signed up.
Nate Silver. Check. NYT. Check. Intent to split conservative vote to get Romney. Check.
I’ve been saying for about 2 weeks it will be Romney, Santorum, Paul and Gingrich.
do us all a favor on this Forum. Hold your breath until Newt drops out!

Bingo! Check. Using Santorum now to split us. Check! Gullible Santorum supporters popping up today. Check.
I hope you're right because Newt WINS SC & FL (and therefore the nomination) in that scenario.
Santorum is another Duncan Hunter, without the experience.
I disagree, that if Romney wins Iowa, that he will also lose SC and Florida. I see the very opposite happening.

Perfection that was never foundMight as well save your breath. Reality or facts will not sway the Santorum (or other second tier) faithful. They will glob onto Santorums projected Iowa performance as proof that Rick can win it - despite all "evidence" to the contrary.
OUTSTANDING.
BTW there’s another Duncan Hunter now.
Duncan D.
Never mind I found the amount, it was 42,000. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/gingrichs-sale-of-mailing-list-unlawful-watchdog-group-charges/2011/12/19/gIQArh3s4O_story.html
