Caleb: https://twitter.com/#!/RickSantorum
me: which of the several amusing things am I looking for?
Caleb: The "follow" button.
me: I'm not following him
me: You know I'm a Romney supporter
Caleb: Thaddeus McCotter's my man.
me: what was Santorum's "strong showing" in the straw poll?
Caleb: A insurgent-style fourth place.
me: ah
me: that's legit
Caleb: One place behind Tim Pawlenty, who dropped out the next day.
me: ah
me: ah
Caleb: He totally owned Herman Cain.
Caleb: And Newt.
Caleb: Newt lost to RIck Perry (write-in).
me: yes, I saw a headline last night about Newt saying he was rebuilding his campaign
Caleb: Presumably hiring Pawlenty's people.
Caleb: To fill the gaps from his last staff exodus.
me: I wonder where Newt's people go
me: and if they change their names and forge their resumes
Caleb: They went to Perry's campaign.
Caleb: That was one of the key factors in his decision to run.
Caleb: His top guys were all with Newt.
Caleb: Then they realize that whole operation was a waste of time.
Caleb: So Perry sends his balloons up.
Caleb: And they all jump ship and go to work for him.
Caleb: And America is much better off for it.
