A Santorum Surge?

Santorum may soon replace Gingrich as the number two candidate in the Republican primary. He has a good shot of winning in both Minnesota and Missouri and finishing second in Colorado. From Public Policy Polling's blog;

Tuesday has the potential to be a big day for Rick Santorum. In addition to these two polls, a Missouri survey we conducted last weekend found him with 45% to 34% for Romney and 13% for Paul. Given how quickly things have moved in this race I wouldn't assume Santorum still has that lead, especially given the momentum Romney has after big wins in Florida and Nevada. But nevertheless it looks like Santorum has a decent chance at wins in Minnesota and Missouri, and a second place finish in Colorado. 72 hours from now he may have supplanted Gingrich as the top alternative to Romney.

  1. Did I read Santorum is off the ballot in Indiana?

  2. correct he had the required number of signatures under the old redistricting plan but came up 8 short. He may wheedle his way on.
