he beat harris wofford, a popular incumbent to get the senate seat and when he points out he lost ints obviously a terrible republican year. i was on the top of the ballot. he was running against bob casey, which is a madgeal name in pennsylvania. he's a very good campaigner. they're not going to have time to negatively vet him. i think this surge is real. i'd say something cautionary about the polls. polls as you know, are tough to gauge turnout even in real elections. in caucuses, it's almost impossible to gauge turnout. so i believe there's a good chance rick santorum will run ahead of what he's polling because the evangelicals will turn out with a lot more passion than the romney voters. i think the surge is real and i think it could happen. >> it seems to me that he has been very consistent throughout his career in the way that the evangelical voters want a republican to be consistent. and then also with the tea party world. i mean this is a guy who was never in favor of an individual mandate in health care or any of those things that gingrich and romney dabbled with. he doesn't
