PPP MICHIGAN POLL :

[dskalkowski]

PPP is the only polling organization that has Santorum anywhere near 15 points ahead of Romney nationally. Gallup still has Romney ahead of Santorum nationally. I don't know how PPP is getting their numbers.

Actually Gallup is close, and the FOX News poll found Santorum gaining on Romney. Recent Michigan polls also suggest his spike.

That's not reality, it's a caricature. The truth is Santorum is not going to take over your daily life. You sound like the delusional liberals who said Bush was going to snap his fingers and outlaw abortion on his first day in office, and lock up homosexuals in camps, and force us all to go to church, etc. etc. The truth is that Santorum would likely be exactly what Ron Paul has deemed him as - status quo. Obviously, because I don't favor the status quo, I prefer Ron Paul being elected, but the idea that somehow Santorum represents some evil demon taking over America is just silly.

I agree with this. Santorum is no more dangerous than Obamneyrich. Santorum has been trying to carve out his "niche" of the social conservative and military adventurism vote. He wouldn't be any more or any less radical than anyone else. If he does get the nomination, you will see him moderating to Romney-levels. He's status quo.

Anyone care to explain how this makes sense?

Yes, it is smart democrats that wants the GOP's nominee to be completely unelctable so Obama Will have an easy win in the general election.

Which means RP should stomp his guts out in the Penn primary, right? Or will they flock to Romney or Newt? I'm not really sure, because in '08 only McCain and Ron were on the ballot there, and Ron got over 120,000 votes...which was the most he received from any other state, including Cali.

Keep in mind that Ron is originally from the Harrisburg area.

I agree that Santorum is "surging," but I just don't think he's ahead by 15 points nationally. I would imagine that the Gallup poll is more accurate.

Ron was born in the Pittsburgh area actually. Newt was born in the Harrisburg area.

Gallup is a rolling 5 day average and it's been jumping 3 points a day, it will catch up to PPP soon. This is real. Santorum is the frontrunner now. The GOP is eating itself.
