So even Perry is surely not dumb enough to think he can win the Republican nomination.

I should think it was the Establishment Republicans that encouraged the poor benighted Texan governor to continue with the race in South Carolina. They are desperate to split the Fox News voting block, of course. And once New Hampshire is done, Romney is in real trouble in South Carolina and Florida. So encouraging Perry to stay in the race makes sense in order to try to prevent the sense of a failed Romney candidacy emerging in the South.

Maybe Perry will split off some of the Santorum momentum - 10% might vote for a village idiot, so long as he has the proper flag pin and does a good advertisement - and I'm sure Rove will find the funds to attack Santorum using Perry as his tool. At least, that's surely the Rove/Romney hope.

They can then ditch the poor sap.

Hi tkc,

Romney is doomed because he's no one's second choice.

His only chance is that the Rove/Romney axis destroys the opposition using negative ads. Otherwise, the votes are headed elsewhere. That's my view, anyway.

If you want to know why it is the bubble has moved from one non-Romney to another, look no further than Fox News, which itself has focused its support on the same candidates sequentially. I think Fox is cause and bubble is the effect, and not vice versa.

Murdoch tweeted readers to watch Santorum in Iowa. It was no surprise his numbers went through the roof. Romney can't compete with Fox News. He's stuck at 25%. Paul has made it to 20%. The rest belongs to Murdoch.
