Should Santorum have contested Maine?

[Indy Texas]

Some of the voting was before Santorum surged.

There are some verbs you just can't use with Santorum's last name and "surge" is one of them. Other things you cannot say include:

"A Santorum wave is cascading across the Super Tuesday states."

"Santorum has been all over this issue. It's gotten really dirty."

"You're going to have Santorum in the Oval Office, and four or eight years from now someone's going to have to clean up the mess Santorum leaves behind. It's not gonna be pretty."
