Romney and Santorum (surged from behind) fight, Ron Paul third

I think Romney will have a tough time in New Hampshire and South Carolina with Santorum.  Rick Santorum (surged from behind in Iowa) is conservative alternative to Romney, he might give Romney a long nomination race.  If Romney drops out, then what happens to Ron Paul?  Ron will stay in for the long haul, he has no problem raising money, and he has fanatic supporters, and he knows how to run an inexpensive campaign if he has to.  So this republican race may go on for some time.  Ron Paul will survive past South Carolina, the longer he survives his improbably nomination becomes less improbable.  Romney i think is in trouble.  Even if he gets the nomination, he has little chance of beating Obama, unless the Republican party unites behind him, unless the Republicans can convince voters Romney really is conservative (Romney-Santorum ticket?).
