Santorum Claims Conservative Mantle

Rick Santorum's campaign peaked at the proper time as he and Mitt Romney tied for a photo finish in the Iowa Caucuses last night. Only a week ago, Santorum was not given any chance to place much less win the first in the nation primary. but the confluence of a number of event togther wth his dogged hard work has made the night his own.

Listen to his speech as he touches upon those facets that made America great. 

I suspect that rick Perry will return to Texas and bow out of the race.

I think Michelle Bachmann has to be concerned that this is not her time as well.

Romney is expected to win New Hampshire so anything that Santorum does will remind people that Romney has not won over neither the conservatives in the party, nor the pro-life vote. If Bachmann and perry drop out this week, then Then will be a natural growth in the Santorum camp. Gingrich will attempt to claim some of those voters as the other anti-Romney candidate.

Santorum has an exemplary pro-life record. his only error was in supporting Arlan Spector, a major mistake. But compared to the other candidates, he carries much less baggage and can appeal to working class voters in Middle America. So we shall see what happens in New Hampshire.
