Topic: Santorum's rising
By JEREMY W. PETERS
Santorum seems to be rising in the polls too especially in Iowa where the caucus in only days away. Many people in Iowa are being swayed by his determination to not have just the person everyone thinks is going to win, in office. He encourages people to vote for the person that they see fit to be president instead of just jumping on the bandwagon of whoever everyone thinks is going to win based on the polls. Not only are Santorum’s polls rising, the crowds at his campaign rallies and the media reporting about him are starting to increase as well. He talks about social conservatism which the people in Iowa have taken an interest in and are in support of him. He also emphasizes Christian values and family value which are other aspects that Iowans are looking for in their candidate. Many people have expressed that Santorum stands firm in his beliefs and does not seem to waver unlike the other candidates. People think he is the most consistent of the candidates. Although many Iowans think Santorum is a great candidate, many have expressed that they like some other candidates as well, so we do not know for sure whether Santorum will be getting as many votes as expected. Although his polls have risen within the last week, it still says only 16 percent of likely caucus goers. Many Iowans have said that there are many good qualities and values within all of the candidates, but Santorum seems to possess most of them in a single person. Santorum seems like a great candidate but we can never be sure of these polls and the many fluctuations it has within a short amount of time. It seems one candidate after another rises and then falls. The first caucus is only days away so this make it or break it time for the candidates. One bad move can ruin everything they have been working for. Santorum is a rising star, but how long before this new fad dies? Or is this a fad that will last? We shall see soon.
