Slog tipper Jason sent along a screencap of a USA Today headline that could set your lunch to rising:
The worst part? It's kind of true. Santorum is peaking at just the right time. If he follows the same pattern as Gingrich and Perry, he'll peak around the day of the caucuses. Does this mean we should prepare for President Santorum? Absolutely not. He's got no organization outside of Iowa, and he's got the biggest image problem out of anyone in the race.

Today the Republican Party calls itself the GOP (Grand Old Party), but it is actually younger than the Democratic Party, which has existed in one form or another since the days of Thomas Jefferson (when it was called, somewhat confusingly to the modern observer, the Democratic Republicans).

Please let Santorum win. Every liberal progressive ought to be rooting for him. I mean, Romney is a real threat, but Santorum would be a calamity for the Republican Party. Can you imagine what Obama would do to that clown in a debate? It'd be like a Mongol invasion of Candyland.

The problem with single-issue voters is that they engender single-issue candidates. Alan Keyes got the same percentage of supporters and we didn't see so much of him.
