The surge of Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum just goes on and on. Since his three primary victories on Tuesday, rightwing Republicans finally seem to have decided on the Not Romney. In PPP's newest national poll Rick Santorum is at 38% to 23% for Mitt Romney. Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul are out with 17% and 13%.
There's one reason why Santorum is soaring: almost no one hates him. Something that can't be said of the competition.

Still Romney is gonna win.
By kloeless on 12/02/2012 - 8:24The Republican Party knows Santorum has no chance.
The party maybe but do republicans know?
By r.u.serius on 12/02/2012 - 8:25The outlook of the november elections has changed dramatically in 10 days.
Romney’s weakness is now more evident than ever. And the economic growth has transformed how tough Obama looks.
It is hard to underestimate how much the look of 2012 has changed.
By drizzle on 12/02/2012 - 8:56Example: I ran 2048 simulations of 2012 on Monday and today. Obama chances of winning have gone from 55% on Monday to 77% this morning.
We may be witnessing the death throes of cultural conservatism in this country. If Santorum wins the nomination and is destroyed in the general, the social conservatives are headed to the wilderness.
By drizzle on 12/02/2012 - 9:02As he did with Gingrich Romney can defeat Santorum by going negative.
But Santorum supporters will be angry and disillusioned with him.
By r.u.serius on 12/02/2012 - 9:26We’re talking about 30% of Republicans who will really dislike Mittens.
