"Santorum surges from behind..." in Iowa

This is a real headline, "Santorum surges from behind...."  The article refers to Santorum's recent increase in the alleged public opinion polls in Iowa.  Wait a minute: a rural, conservative at time populist state, has an important role in selecting a Presidential nominee for a global empire, and we pay attention to public opinion polls based on hundreds of republican voters (those who identify themselves in some way as republican voters) even though there is constant instability in the polling results.  And even if Santorum does well in the caucus votes, so what?  That means he isn't nuts?  That he doesn't say offensive, at times, intellectually stupid things? That he could never provide a challenge to Pres Obama?  Can you imagine Santorum in a debate with Obama?  He would have a better chance playing pick up game of basketball against Obama, one on one.  The joke is of course Dan Savage's web site devoted to Santorum:  Dan is an advice columnist, and is gay.  His columns are ....well...entertaining, not exactly Dear Abby stuff.  I read Dan Savage's column every week in Pittsburgh's city paper, and learn something everytime.  We need Dan Savage.  At any rate, Dan has a web site that has been hit so many times, that anyone who does a google search for "Santorum" gets his site, which is devoted to exposing Rick Santorum's intolerance, and ignorance, toward anyone with a sexual orientation different than Rick's.  I just can't believe that Rick doesn't have some kind of kinky, weird, elicit sexual outlet that hasn't been exposed so far: there has got to be an teenage intern, a pregnant staffer, a transgendered prostitute somewhere who has a story to tell about Santorum, i mean, Rick Santorum.  The real question is how Santorum will ever distance himself from his crazy anti gay remarks, equating the Supreme Court's decision on state sodomy laws with man on dog sex, with child abuse (anything other than man-woman sex is wrong, is the same as man-dog, man-boy, sex).  Can a gay man have oral sex with a woman and not have it be considered sodomy?  OMG...it just struck me....has Rick Santorum ever had ......I won't go there.  To understand Santorum, you have to understand his unhappy childhood (see above picture) - does that picture look hetero?
