Whirly got a screw loose.
Turn-out was slightly higher than 2008 but less than expected given the level of outrage at Obama that is supposedly out there by those other than the mouth-foamers like Whirly.
So, what does it all mean? I'll chime in
1. Santorum lived in Iowa for the past several months. He met every single voter in Iowa. He did well in Iowa because of this and because Iowans are feeble-minded corn-growing country bumpkins.
2. Santorum has no organization outside of Iowa. This doesn't bode well for places like....oh, New Hampshire and the other 48 states?
3. Santorum is a right-wing religious fanatic who thinks that states should be allowed to outlaw all forms of contraception. Think about that....Santorum thinks that it's reasonable that you can be arrested and criminally prosecuted if you use a condom while nailing one of our lovely providers....or your wife. I suspect he thinks that using a condom while also violating laws relating to prostitution should be an enhanced crime, with capital punishment as an available alternative to a Taliban jury.
4. Santorum means "asshole" in Latin. Or so Santorum's senate colleagues used to say....not just his democratic colleagues either....
5. Nobody can be President of the United States that gets the result you get when you google "Santorum".
6. Santorum is the last alternative standing who will go through a period of relative popularity before being rolled over by Romney's machine and money. Don't get me wrong. I would be delighted, absolutely delighted, if Rick Santorum turns out to be the GOP nominee. But, unfortunately for us Democrats and Obama supporters, that isn't going to happen.
