Santorum Says First Thank You
to Iowans at a local Pizza Ranch palor before the caucuses. He doesn't come off as presumptuous like Romney, like Romney is owed it or bought it. He doesn't come off as sleazy as Romney for having hid behind the attack ad machinery of his superpac. He doesn't come off as slightly snotty or condescending as Newt can sometimes feel like. He comes off as a guy who believed in his vision, believed in hard work pummelling the pavements, door to door, to meet and greet and get there, the old fashioned way. Does he even have a twitter account? He hasn't launched any silly faux pasish snyde come backs the way Huntsman does tweeting his sarcasm.
He doesn't talk down to folks. He connects with them. This plays in Peoria and Des Moines.
I don't agree with him on gay marriage- I am not gay but disagree with the premise that denying anyone civil liberties or equal justice under the law makes a stronger society or makes heterosexuals more prone to marry. I think it is a non sequitor. But I like Santorum. I respect him. And I applaud the way he didn't let lack of funding get in his way. That's what happens when you hear a calling- you have to go for it and God provides. I think God is going to provide for Santorum to go all the way to the Convention. Only God knows what's after that for him.
