Santorum Rising

With the Iowa caucuses just two days away now, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum has rised to 15% and into third place according to the last Des Moines Register poll before the vote. Romney remains on top with 24% and Paul closely follows at 22%. None of the other candidates come remotely close.

However, the real interesting numbers are revealed when you dig into the margins - during the last day DMR called Iowans, Santorum rised unbeliveably to second place with 22% of the vote - resulting in a spurt of momentum that could allow him to come away the winner of Iowa's caucuses Tuesday night.

Now, I still believe my candidate, Romney, will win this thing because he's the steady tortoise in this race, most voters still believe he's the most electable and he has already reached his 2008 result: 25%, meaning he has to perform better with everything on his side at this point in the race, unlike last time when he was being hammered over religion.

Either way, Santorum is a force to be honest with and Tuesday night is gonna be fun, regardless of who you support.

What say you?
