Calm down people. I understand that (for some completely unknown reason) the media makes the Iowa caucus seem like kind of a big deal. But let’s please put this in perspective. Iowa, like most of the mid-west, is a state that nobody cares about. When was the last time you heard someone say, “I think we should really consider his idea. I mean, he IS from Iowa”?
Plus, he only received 30,000 votes. There’s 0ver three hundred million people in this country (1.4 billion if you include illegals from Mexico). I’m no mathlete but I’m pretty sure that’s like 1/100 of one percent of the population. 30,000 is like the number of people who saw the movie New Year’s Eve and nobody’s worried about that film being elected president (let alone winning any Oscars). All this Santorum hubbub is totally media created. After he tanks in the New Hampshire primary today you won’t have to hear about him again.
But the real reason why Mr. Santorum will never be elected is because of Google’s search engine and the ability for it to be manipulated. Have you ever Googled the guy’s name? Do it. Do it now and just see what you get. You’ll probably see two or three entries about news topics because we’re in the middle of Republican nominations during an election year. But about the third or fourth result you’ll find will be the Dan Savage orchestrated Google bomb. A simple definition of “Santorum”. Funny, disgusting, and a key reason why anybody looking up more information about this candidate will forever associate his name with…let’s just say “the back door”.
