Santorum's Iowa Speech

I'm just now watching Santorum's speech after the Iowa caucuses. It's pretty impressive in places, and only slightly sanctimonious in others.  So even if you've already written him off, it's worth the 20 minutes to see him at what is probably his best.

Thank you, Yael -- you are right. It is one of the great election night speeches in recent memory. He is the Tim Tebow of politics this year. If the Republicans are going to win this year, they will need a candidate who can win over the [Hillary] Clinton Democrats, the ones like the people in Western Pennsylvania who turned to Hillary after Obama's denigration of guns and religion. They need someone who can articulate their concerns convincingly, who has not only written a book saying "it takes a family" but who has walked that talk as well. He was the only candidate during the debates to take on Ron Paul, while all the others were afraid to do so. We all should take a close look at him.

I'm trying to be fair, but I still prefer others before Santorum. If we've learned anything, it should be that it takes much much more than fine speechmanship to be Leader of the Free World.
