Google-esque jokes aside, Rick Santorum is managing to do something bizarre. Most in the Republican establishments were fighting Romney or Gingrich, much like the much publicized Dan or Dave Reebok advertisements for the '92 Summer Olympics. And like Dan O'Brien, Gingrich is falling by the wayside, and won't even be around for the final round of primaries.

So, one would think this would mean the Pro-Romney would be the shoe-in. Much like if Team Edward doesn't win, Bella goes with Team Jacob. But to parallel the current joke of a Republican Primary, Bella actually ends up going with the hot vampire chick that can see the future.

Yup, that's right folks, Rick Santorum is now leading multiple national polls, becoming just the third Republican to claim the highly distinguished prize in the last two weeks. Santorum becomes the fifth Republican candidate to take the lead in national polls. He joins the man he is replacing at the top, Mitt Romney and other cream of the crop Republicans Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, and Rick Perry, or in other words, pretty much everyone that has run in the primary except Michelle Bachmann, Jon Huntsman, and some Ron Paul guy who wears a boot on his head.

What can we take from the recent polling? Well, the steadfast, never say die support for Gingrich has entirely swung to Santorum. And while Gingrich is probably waiting by the phone for Obama to concede the '12 election to him, this may be the last swing in the primary for him. The bad news is that Ron Paul is still in the race and we'll still have to listen to his supporters not just get it that the Republican Party doesn't give a flip about him. Virtually no support from Gingrich is going to Paul which would be an indicator that he should fucking give up already!

Perhaps the most interesting thing in the latest round of "polls", is that Santorum has taken a massive lead in Michigan, a state Romney has to win because his dad was from there or something. Romney probably has some issues about his saying that the Big Three should have been left for dead. Some people may take issue with that. Now, it must be remembered, we are talking about Republicans here, so this lead is hardly safe. Romney led by 15 pts not two weeks ago in Michigan, now Santorum is leading by 15 pts. It wouldn't take much more than a cow passing some methane, or perhaps a Google search, for the polls to swing back in Romney's favor. Polling data in other states is light as media companies are recognizing that the Republican electorate is so fickle and ridiculous immature and without any basis of generating an original thought, polling would be a complete waste of money because someone might say Santorum voted to raise the debt ceiling because if the Senate didn't do it, America would have defaulted on its obligations... what an asshole... and lead to Joe the Plumber becoming the latest star surging from the rear of the candidate pool

Romney is continuing to state he is the best man to beat Obama. And he'd be right. Of the candidates left, Gingrich is too hated to be elected. Santorum... he wants to let states ban birth control, a stance that may not help him with the female or "people that like to have sex" vote, or people that recognize the Supreme Court precedence dating over 50 years ago in Griswold v Connecticut. Ron Paul wears a boot on his head. Seriously, what a nutball.

So indeed, Romney is the best option, but while Republicans are polling that beating Obama is a major factor in choosing who to vote for in the primaries, they don't seem to recognize that the idiots they've supported wouldn't be capable of doing just that.
