Boy, Gingrich really isn't good at marriages - the republican base has already abandoned him for Santorum? Maybe it's just a case of the ideologues being consorts of easy virtue.
So let's rehearse the catechism once again - Santorum has been ignored for 6 months because he's eminently ignorable and not because of some gross oversight by occluded punditry - he's an emanation of the social conservative milieu and therefore a nice fit for the paleo-conservatives of Iowa and maybe South Carolina but that's about it, which is why he's devoted almost all of his limited resources to doing well in Iowa [yet making even more clear that republicans really do themselves no favors by granting a highly idiosyncratic caucus this much influence] - he doesn't have the money nor the organization to compete in 50 states - his resume looks paper thin compared to Romney's - in short, unelectable, he's yet another not-Romney that leaves one scratching their head and asking "what the hell makes this idiot think he can or should be president?" - should a miracle happen - or a plague of astounding ignorance decimates republican ranks - and he becomes the nominee he has zero shot against Obama and will merely motivate moderate [ie, not crazy] conservatives deeply troubled by the thought of a second Obama term into backing some third party entry.
All other commentary is just noise. What a glorious thing democracy is.
