He'd "have a lot of heartburn" with Paul over national security issues but Santorum claims he'd vote for him over Obama. Ugh.
Oh, well. It won't come to that. Time to be happy about the real Santorum Surge in Iowa!
If 16% on a "Republicans only" poll less than a week from the caucuses is enough to win, I'll eat my underpants.
However, I feel you're happiness too, funny enough. Santorum has basically no chance of winning Iowa short of divine intervention, but he could perform well. He could even beat Romney for second! That would probably be the best case scenario for Paul, since Santorum has about as much chance of performing well outside of Iowa (and maybe, say, Louisiana) as I do of becoming the head of the GRU, while Romney's veil of legitimacy would be torn at the seams.
