13. I started to worry about him a little when Newt and Mitt started feuding

Santorum had all of the negative ads he needed - just sitting back and letting them rip each other apart. The MO primary may not count in terms of delegates, but it is a pretty stunning symbolic victory. The margin leads me to believe we should not underestimate him. He's actually a pretty good candidate vs. Obama. He's squeaky clean and his appearance is younger and a little less threatening than Mitt and Newt. Then there's that working class persona he's been working pretty successfully.
It's a sad, scary thought, but I think he actually could win the nomination. The real fear is considering the possibility of him going further. It's one we do need to keep in mind.
