A tale of two polls: Santorum may win Michigan Primary
Two different polls paint very different pictures for Tuesday’s primary in Michigan. The PPP Poll released February 26ths puts Romney ahead of Santorum and makes a very solid argument that Romney is ahead and that it will be difficult for Santorum to move enough voters into his camp to take the lead. The Mitchell Research poll, released on February 27th, makes a good argument that although Romney was ahead as of last Thursday, Santorum has in fact moved enough voters into his camp to be numerically ahead of Romney by 2% points in a poll with a 3.34% margin of error.
Let’s have a look at the details. Continue reading A tale of two polls: Santorum may win Michigan Primary
The Government of the Netherlands Routinely Kills Netherlanders When They Least Expect it
Therefore, most people in the Netherlands don’t go to hospitals if they are sick. If they are sick they go to another country, because if they walk into one of the hospitals in their own country, they will be killed against their will.
I am not making this up. The man who has a better than 10% chance of being the Leader of the Free World swears this is true, and why would he lie?

There is no right to health care (Santorum)
Actually, there may not be. Rights are, in part, what we decide as a society and it is not clear that the US has decided that health care is a right. Most civilized countries have, of course. Here’s what Santorum has to say about it: Continue reading There is no right to health care (Santorum)

Santorum Wins Chilly Tuesday
Santorum handily won Minnesota’s caucus tonight, with Romney coming in in third place after Ron Paul, and Gingrich holding on to fourth place. Santorum also won in Missouri, with Romney taking a weak second place and Paul third. The Caucus in Colorado went strongly for Santorum, with Gingrich a weak second and Romney and Paul taking third and fourth.
The Romney Juggernaut never was a Juggernaut and still isn’t.

The Topsy Turvy World of the Republican Primary Process. And a dancing otter.
After a surprising showing in South Carolina, New Gingrich pulled way ahead of Mitt Romney, in pre-Florida Primary polling. But that sudden increase in numbers quickly eased off and Gingrich and Romney remained very close for a few days, with Romney a few points ahead. Over the last 36 hours, Romney has put significant distance between his candidacy and Gingrich’s, with Romney polling consistently above 40% and Gingrich consistanly double digits behind. Santorum is holding steady at 12-14%, and nobody cares about Ron Paul.
However, in comparing all of the candidates in polls asking people across the country which Republican they would vote for, Romney is NOT a clear winner. In fact, Gingrich tends to score a couple of points ahead of Romney. In one recent poll (NBC/Wall Street Journal) Gingrich was 9 points ahead. In the most recent poll (Gallup Tracking) Gingrich was just 2 points ahead.
But the preference for Gingrich does not align with national polls comparing the various republican candidates with Obama. In these polls, Romney tends to come closer to Obama’s lead than does Gingrich, who tends to get his ass whupped by the President, with Barack Obama showing a double-digit lead over the hapless and blithering ex-speaker.
But a lot can change in two days. Gingrich is on the attack against Romney, and his main point of attack seems to be to point out how Romney is on the attack against Gingrich. I don’t expect this to change the outcome of the Florida Primary. Romney will win there, although is it always possible that he will win by less than the current polls suggest. But what may happen over the longer term is a shift in the overall view of Gingrich and Romney by Republican voters in general. I expect there to be a downgrading of support for both “Front Runners” as they continue to slam each other. Santorum will come out a minor winner over the medium term, possibly even taking a state or two if his strategy is managed effectively and his money holds out.
Just for fun here’s Ron Paul’s attack ad ad d d attack attack ack ack ad d against Gingrich:

The Florida Primary: A First Look
The Florida Primary is set for Tuesday, January 31st. Romney, Gingrich, Paul and Santorum are running. For a while there it looked like Gingrich was an easy winner, because his numbers were jumping rapidly in the polls, but things have settled down and it is starting to look more like a Gingrich-Romney horse race. Here are the numbers: Continue reading The Florida Primary: A First Look

Rick Santorum, Primate
Matt Thompson at Savage Minds discovered this: My much asteemed colleague Sara Hrdy (who wrote this book, and other books on this list) happen to use Santorum as an example in her writings of several years ago:
The abortion issue is notorious for generating so much “heat” and so little “light.” On this particular occasion, one of the senators debating the issue (Rick Santorum, Republican from Pennsylvania) became “so emotional” that the blood vessels leading to his stomach constricted, while those leading to his heart and brain dilated. Responding to signals from the most ancient portions of his brain, his pounding heart caused the face of this deeply threatened mammal to flush “crimson” in preparation for a fight. His voice rose to such a pitch that colleagues had to intervene.
That’s just a taste. Read the longer quote with context HERE.
