Will Rick Santorum be the upset winner of Iowa as money and evangelicals flock to his campaign to knock off Mitt Romney?

Why not?

I wouldn’t be upset in the slightest if Santorum can pull this off.

Go Ricky, Go Ricky!!!

Daily Mail reports:

• Former senator trying to gain evangelical voters off Perry and Bachmann
• Gets backing of Jim Bob Duggar from TLC show '19 Kids and Counting'
• Flailing Gingrich admits he won't win and tells Obama not to take his salary
• 'Most volatile race for GOP since polling began' - lead changed seven times
• Paul labels Santorum 'very liberal' and 'fake Mitt Romney' in used in advert
• Republicans worried about Occupy protesters hacking reporting system
• Romney compares Obama’s promises to Kim Kardashian’s 72-day marriage

With just one day to go until Iowans get their big moment in the presidential election spotlight, the surprise dark horse Rick Santorum is continuing to pick up momentum - and plenty of cash.

The former Pennsylvania senator, who spent much of the autumn and winter bottom of polls, surged last week and his campaign has 'raised more money in the last few days than the last few months’.

Mr Santorum, who has jumped into third place in the polls, is urging GOP voters to ‘send a shock wave across this country’ by voting for him and said the U.S. is searching for an inspirational leader.

The Republican presidential hopeful dismissed rival former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney's business experience, knowing many voters are flicking between the two ahead of Tuesday's vote.

He warned voters against choosing a candidate only because they think that person can win and referred to 1980 when Ronald Reagan inspired Republicans and led the party to victory.

If people in Iowa are still undecided, Santorum is a wise choice.
