“Santorum, Riding Wave, Sharpens His Aim at Romney,” by Patrick O’Connor and Janet Hook
This piece was written a few days after the Iowa election when Mr. Santorum was in second place behind Mr. Romney, who won by only 8 votes. There was a “bump” in the national polls for Santorum before the New Hampshire vote, where he didn’t do as well, but at this point in the polls, Mr. Santorum had 11% support compared to 3% in late December.
Surfers ride waves and so do politicians when they catch good support.
