With some focusing …. Rick Santorum will win. Michael Steele will win. Jim Talent will win. The GOP will keep the House and the Senate. It will send a message that we do, in fact, live in a 9/11 world and we vote as if we are.

Right now is the time when real people really start paying attention. Arrogant pundits might want to call it a slaughter. Give up now and it may be one. Tell the truth — that there are three weeks left and anything can happen, and anything can happen.

And mark my words: Santorum wins. Someone will self-destruct over that fact. The latter isn’t the intended outcome, but it’s bound to happen.
