Root for Santorum

by Steve

Despite a challenging time at work, with a presidential campaign about to begin, let me re-enter the picture with some commentary about the here and now. First off, thanks to all of you who have stuck with us. Second, I promise to commit more time to blogging in 2012.

Third, let me speak simply about Iowa: generally, it means squat. But in a year where the GOP front-runner is loathed by his own party, the last thing Mitt Romney wants is a Tea Party candidate with legs. None of the other dwarves fit that bill, but if Rick Santorum finishes third or better in Iowa, Romney has problems.

And in case all this GOP stuff is boring to you, there's always this rehash of a story that won't go away.

Happy New Year everyone!
