Control the FOOLS with polls

Interesting piece  from Dave Daubemire with News With Views.com
I think he's hit it right on the head.

the right/left yardstick is a French Revolution-born human measure. It reflects the political spectrum, which is determined by the people’s range of beliefs. Christians, however (and everyone, in fact), should make Truth their yardstick. This inerrant guide doesn’t compromise and build consensus, either; it’s not a politician. It dictates where reality lies. And in a civilization claiming 2+2=5, it’s with the “extremist” who insists it’s 4. For God’s realism so often is man’s radicalism.

The writer raises an interesting question. 4 weeks ago Santorum was a nobody. Trailing way behind everyone else then all of a sudden he was polling 3rd out nowhere and the media hyped him like there was no tomorrow.

What changed the minds of the voters of Iowa? Did they all go out and research Santorum then decide he was their man or did they go with who the media was telling them to vote for?
