Lol. He’s in the race because of the “anyone but Romney” mantra, not because it’s rigged. There have been a string of candidates that have shot up to the lead (Bachman, Cain, Perry, Santorum, Gingrich, and now Santorum again) only to falter because they don’t have the well oiled campaign machine that Romney does. Romney has the money, the organization, and the independent appeal to keep him at or near the top of Republican race. However, the majority of the Republican voters think he’s meh, so they keep seeking a viable alternative. Gingrich has imploded, Paul isn’t that appealing to the mainstream, so that leaves Santorum.
