Santorum came out of far right field to tie Romney in Iowa, so it's possible he could do the same in NH. If he does, it comes directly out of Romney's chips. They seem to attract the same class of voter. I bet Romney's 40% is a very unenthusiastic collection of voters and probably not excited that their choice reflects the very worst aspects of predatory capitalism. So, the next couple of days will be interesting. If Romney collapses back to his 25% ceiling in Iowa, those 15% will probably end up in Huntsman's column....and that would be another upset and throw the race back to an unpredictable free-for-all.

Go Jon!
