What began as a seemingly Quixotic run for the Republican nomination is not looking so hopelessly romantic tonight. Rick Santorum has taken both the Alabama and Mississippi primaries.
In doing so, he prevailed over Mitt Romney's money in Newt Gingrich's backyard. This, after capturing 51% of the vote in Kansas last weekend, is startling.
The man may not have money and organization, but he has traction. Can he really win the nomination, however, over the howls of angst from Dorothy Rabinowitz (whose man is Newt Gingrich) and the Upper East Side Republican set?
