I think Santorum’s surge is one that will stick because the more people look at him and how he’s lived his life the more they will like him

Trout, if he’s your guy, I wish him luck- and mean him absolutely no ill.
But, for discussion purposes only, imo, his surge will not stick. I base that on the history of this primary process-GOP voters are nauseatingly malleable and feckless— one wrong statement in the next debate-— and the numbers will change.
Heck, in Sc, with one 30 second answer-— Newt rose 30% in the polls over-night.

We can definitely agree on that- I’ve never seen numbers shift so wildly based on seemingly minor events. Santorum is my favorite of the current candidates, but even I can admit he has had no spurt of brilliance in the last week or so to justify his numbers skyrocketing like they have. Weird stuff- but weird in a good way in this particular case. :)
