It sounded ridiculous and self serving when he said it, but Santorum really did call it. There are three Republican primaries going on. He called them the Libertarian, the moderate, and the conservative. They may be better named as the Libertarian, the Pragmatic, and the Socially Conservative. Paul and Romney have the first two sown up. The battle is for the Social Conservative and those guys can't make up their mind. Their vote blows with the wind and changes with the latest sound bite.
Its a game of musical chairs, but unfortunately for Romney, they take away a chair or two with every primary. Eventually, only Gingrich or Santorum will be left to take the entire Social Conservative vote, and there are more social conservatives than pragmatists. His only chance is to keep both of them in the race.
