I'm not sure whether this says more about Romney, Santorum, or how stupid it is to let a handful of voters decide who gets to be a candidate

Slate's David Weigel, in NH, talking to a NH voter:



Over 24 hours, I watched Santorum, Huntsman, and Gingrich sell themselves to New
Hampshire voters. It wasn’t fair. Winning (or almost winning) one of the early
states makes a candidate Serious. In Tilton, I stop into a pizza place near
Santorum’s event and meet Joe DiBiase, a nice guy with a Bluetooth headset who
has just heard the Gospel of Santorum.
“I don’t like Romney,” he says. “I
like that guy who came in second in Ohio, or whatever it was.”
