You're right. But you've also got to give Santorum credit for being a fast learner. Two weeks before Iowa, he was not nationally known. And he's the clear Romney alternative now. Let's see what he does between now and the next biggest set of primaries on April 24.
I agree with part of that analogy, but Rick had the entire 10 months prior to where he finally took off, to get organized, seek knowledge on how to prepare for the election, etc,,. No fault to you, but that lack of preparation is what will be his biggest set back. And Romney knows it.
You are right to wait and see what develops. It is about all we can do at this point.
