I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. I took a much needed break from blogging but am getting excited by Rick Santorum's recent polling and now the voting in Iowa.
With 31% reporting, Romney, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul were practically tied. Momenta ago CNN reported Santorum ahead by 100 votes with 50 percent of precincts reporting.
CNN coverage is somewhat nauseating as they throw in video of Obama and Dem party hacks even though there is no contest on the Democrat side. The real story is the Republican race.
When Rick Santorum was in Old Forge in August Santorum stated "I focused all my time and attention on Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. We have a campaign that is legitimate, a campaign that can be successful With the events in Iowa I feel very strongly we are in this campaign not just because we have a good message, but because we can win this campaign." Tonight's results seem to bear that out.
More important than how Santorum thinks his campaign is going is the message he delivered in Old Forge in August - a message that went largely unreported. Santorum said this is the most important election since the election of Abraham Lincoln, the reason being we are voting to determine what type of country we will be.
Santorum said, "The Constitution is the how of our country - the Declaration of Independence is the why of our country. It is our soul." The Declaration of Independence states:
"We are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights" This historic document recognized that rights came NOT from the King but from God". Santorum continued, "At the heart of America is a country founded on God - we recognized in the Declaration of Independence that rights are from God." That message I'm sure appealed to many voters from Iowa.
With fifty percent of precincts reporting Rick Santorum leads by 100 votes and with 60% reporting Santorum has 25%, Romney has 23% and Paul 21%.
