At the time I am posting this (around 2am) almost all of the precincts have reported that Rick Santorum has inched ahead of Mitt Romney in the Iowa caucuses. It seems that Republicans will do anything to not have to settle for Romney. With Santorum they are just about at the end of their list. We’ve seen Bachmann, Perry, Cain and Gingrich all spike in the polls for a couple weeks each. Scandal, stupidity and just plain-old craziness knocked each of them off their wave.
In 2003, Santorum compared being gay to beastiality, pedophilia, incest and more. Sex columnist, Dan Savage, figured this would be just another inflammatory statement soon to be forgotten. To counter this he used his readership and Google to attach Santorum’s name to something as gross as his statement. This quickly went viral—and is still the top search result for Santorum. Fantastic.
