. >> on that same program, santorum blamed colleges for driving young americans out of the christian. >> 62% of kids who go into college with a faith commitment, leave without it. >> a 2007 survey did find 7 in 10 young process christians qui age of 23, but "going to college doesn't make you a religious dropout." "higher education is not the villain." does the senator need to be more careful? amy kramer, cnn contributor, and our chief political analyst. amy, we have seen this cycle when you rise up, whether you're michele bachmann early on in the spring, herman cain, governor perry at one point, you get more attention and you can sometimes talk your way into trouble. how's the senator doing? >> well, i think some of these things he probably should not have said. the housing burst bubble -- the housing bubble burst was not about gas prices. we all know what happened with fannie and freddie and that happened before prices climbed during the 2008 election -- or in the summer of 2008, so i think he needs to be a little more careful about what he says, because when these people do rise up
