Will Rick Santorum Win 20 States?

Rick Santorum aka Frothy aka Sanitorium the Sanctimonious continues to make a spash even if it isn't likely that he can win the GOP nomination.

Some other concerns and demands are absurd, but the heart of the matter is on track. The question is why has this happened? While many on the left are quick to blame a nebulous thing called "greed", or lack of regulation, the matter is more complicated than that. This calls for a Lord of the Rings metaphor.
