That’s what Bill Kristol thinks he is seeing. It amplifies Stacy McCain’s report that Santorum is fighting back after a bad week. One factor neither one mentions that adds to this sense is the growing (not huge, but growing) backlash against Romney for his culturally inept (a Romney specialty) line that his wife “drives a couple of Cadillacs.”
Cultural identification matters. That’s what allows Santorum to survive mistakes, or distorted attacks on his record, when others can’t: People identify with him.
