Per Today's Globe

Former US Senator Rick "High Pitched Rich" Santorum has made seventeen trips to New Hampshire in the past fourteen months and rates about two percent in the most recent GOP Presidential Primary Polling.
I can see his problem right away, he started out as the US Senate's premiere incendiary Fred Van Ackermanesque nutjob, ranting and raving into the C-Span cameras about anal sex and how society was to blame for the clerical sex scandals.
It was lurid and riveting stuff, akin to watching the explosive bolts that hold together Santorum's psyche finally detonate live on CNN.
AS would-be US Dictators go, he was definitely one who had mastered the art of invective.
These days he is trudging around NH trying to lay off the gruesome stuff and find some way to reach out to the Granite State's famously hard to please conservative electorate.
The result is, he is languishing below five percent, bad karma I'd hate to see Santorum drop out but unless he starts howling for blood and dynamite I don't see how he can advance in the rankings.
He has come out for Representative Ryan's fabled "family annihilator" budget, the one that abolishes medicare and gives the elderly a fifteen thousand dollar voucher to buy a shiny tombstone in it's place.
That is akin to the old explosive Rick Santorum, lets see more of that Rick!
