i don't care even if Santorum gets second. He doesn't have the resources to stay in the race much longer after that.
Well, as long as Santorum isn't beating Paul in Iowa, we're good. We want Santorum and Bachmann not Perry and Gingrich to get that vote.I am nervous about the social conservatives coalescing at the last second behind Santorum. Hopefully Perry and Gingrich can hold strong with their vote.
That may change after Iowa. The headline might just be that Santorum would be the one to steal the headlines from Paul and Romney for getting 3rd or 2nd place. But if the donations don't start flooding in, then he will drop after a dismal showing in South Carolina and Florida I think.

What about the polls we take every day talking with other people? Does anybody know any real, live Mitt Romney supporters? I don't. Do your friends know any Mitt
Romney supporters? Mine don't. It seems like a huge farce to me. The RNC wants him to win but real, live voters don't like him. At least that's what I see in Texas.
That RCP graph doesn't look so hot guys.
Paul Santorum Romney would be an awesome finish.

Gingrich will get some votes from old people who aren't paying particularly close attention. He's famous. Perry supposedly has a lot of money, but sucking at running for President has got keep the money from coming in. Santorum is just not famous enough or rich enough. Bachmann isn't either. They're both very weak everywhere but Iowa. Something will happen in NH. It won't be bad for Ron Paul. Then South Carolina. If Gingrich and Perry are creamed in Iowa and NH, I would expect that they would lose some of their support. Gingrich is "still" at 31 in South Carolina. That's an old poll yes, but I would prefer that that particular candidate be hit as much as possible so that he can be replaced by Santorum or Bachmann. Those 4 are pretty much interchangeable - Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich, Perry.
Re: Santorum
I do not believe he is a long term threat.
As PPP recently tweeted:
Rick Santorum and Rick Perry are tied with Buddy Roemer at 3% in New Hampshire #seriously
