The ? is can Ricky begin to raise some real money to take on Romney all the way?:

Looks Like There's a New GOP Frontrunner
Early indications from two polls in the field -- Public Policy Polling and Gallup -- show Rick Santorum either taking over the lead among Republican voters nationally or at least tied with Mitt Romney.

A new Fox News poll also shows Santorum surging and in the last two days the poll was in the field he moved into a dead heat with Romney, 30% to 30%.

GOP voters really don't want Romney! I wonder if the establishment is getting that hint yet?

1. Inconceivable.

13. asdf

I see what you did there.

2. "various pollsters" ? They have a hard time with "exit" interviews.

they get paid for guessing. Nice gig...

3. I would love to be the fly on the Oval Office wall

and hear how Obama and his team are planning on handling this little psycho should he (against all conventional wisdom) grab the nomination.

I'm betting they haven't put a lot of thought in the matter till recently last Tuesday. Who can blame them. I thought this guy would disappear after Florida...

10. Should be easy; he was tied up with dubious Congressional dealings

and was so bad a Senator that he lost his seat. Add to that his wish to ban all contraception, and he's toxic. He'd get the 27% backwash vote, and nothing more.

12. You misunderstand me

I don't think this would be hard for Obama, I'd just like to hear the laughter of disbelief...

4. I don't know if I'd rather live under Mittens' Mormon rule or

Little Ricky's Knights of Columbus bullshit. Dear God, help us.

5. All this pumping by evangelicals really has Santorum rising. n/t

6. The GOP Oligarchs really have a big Santorum mess to clean up. n/t

[NotThisTime]

7. This isn't necessarily good since the recent Rasmussen poll showed Santorum winning over Obama

Of course when he's hit with all the negative commercials that will likely change...

[KamaAina]

8. Hmmmm... I'd better find out more about this guy

I think I'll go Google him.

[yardwork]

9. I don't think that our Corporate Overlords want Ricky as their puppet. That won't fly.

It's hilarious to watch the Republican Party lose control of the monster that they have created.

11. It's his turn.

He's the last not-Mittens left.

14. If he wins...

... his first act will be to rename the USA to "The Frothy States Of Analmerica"
