I tend to agree with your view.

As he said in last night's debate, he won the Iowa caucus, pollling twice the votes of Gingrich. He virtually tied with Gingrich in the New Hampshire primary, so those who are calling for Santorum to drop out are assuming that his showings in SC and FL are going to be abysmal. His first place win in Iowa was nothing short of miraculous, and his showing in New Hampshire was more than respectable. He spent less money, and more energy in both Iowa and New Hampshire than any other candidate, simply because he doesn't have the deep pockets of the others, so calls for him to step down are premature. I believe SC and Fl will represent Santorum's resurgence ... or his waterloo. If he runs respectably (at least second in one of them, or both), the calls for him to step down will lessen, and money will begin coming in. He has, after all, been running his primary campaigns on a relative shoe-string. And the fact that he has done as well as he has with that potentially deadly drawback certainly must indicate that his messgae is resonating to the degree that he is physically able to get it out there somewhere near the ears and eyes of the voters.
