“ALL THOSE WHO PREDICTED THAT RICK SANTORUM WOULD BE GONE THE MORNING AFTER IOWA, ARE NOW PREDICTING THAT HE WILL IMPLODE.”

Red State outlines why Rick Santorum has as good a chance as anyone to make Barack Obama pack up his bags, and leave The White House:

“Despite Obama’s low polling, he exceeded expectations in Iowa and won the state. His victory didn’t change too many opinions about his electability and Republicans were further encouraged to promote Obama over Hillary. As we now all know, Obama not only won the primary, but also won the general election. He was underestimated and therefore shocked everyone when he over-performed.

It is now 2012 and we are experiencing a similar situation albeit within the opposing party of politics. Rick Santorum has been branded as unelectable and unable to win.

The Iowa caucuses though proved an entirely different story. All the candidates had come in yesterday lower than they had polled. Everyone, that is, besides Rick Santorum – who had surged to first place minus eight votes!

And what do we hear from the conservative pundits? The same electability nonsense! If they were wrong about Iowa – having predicted for months that

Santorum will be history the morning after Iowa, why do they continue down the same failed path?

What must Santorum do for them to realize he has an equally great shot and possibly even better shot than some of the others? When will they decide to stop repeating his handful of negatives over and over again, and instead take a look at the many positives that he brings to the table? He has already surprised them and over-performed in Iowa.

Are these predictors so desperate to repeat their mistake from 2008?

Santorum may or may not win the Republican nomination, and he may or may not become the next president of the USA. What is necessary to happen, though, that prediction-lovers and electability arguers should realize that their claims aren’t worth anything?”
