Santorum's fundraising soars along with his poll numbers - Paul Steinhauser and Peter Hamby

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/02/santorums-fundraising-soars-along-with-his-poll-numbers/

The infusion in funds has allowed the Santorum to go up with closing campaign commercials statewide here in Iowa, and TV spots are also up in New Hampshire, which holds the second contest, one week after the caucuses. And the campaign is making ad buys in South Carolina. The Palmetto State's January 21 primary is the third contest in the race for the GOP nomination.

I'm happy only because this increases the chances that Santorum will be humiliated. He moved his family to Iowa to basically facetime himself into a think tank job and to be invited back to talk shows. He succeeded. Now he is actually to the point where he can sell books and appear with other candidates and in "serious" forums where he will pontificate with his over the top nonsense. Had he remained out of the spotlight he would have faded away. Only now does he once again have a chance to be disgraced. For the reason that I oppose his viewpoints on nearly every facet of belief, from social to economic, am I glad that he can be once again chased from the stage of politics, discrediting everything he believes in.
