“When you look at the Republican race right now, there are all sorts ofpreconceived notions that we all bring to it. We know deep in our hearts, or I thought I knew deep in my heart that Mitt Romney was inevitable. Thought I knew the Republican Party would never in a million years nominate Rick Santorum, a guy who lost his Senate race in Pennsylvania by like 7,000 percent. Those are things I thought were clearly true. There was no chance, I`d be proven wrong. And yet, if you come at this with fresh eyes, forget everything you know about this campaign, what you see is that Rick Santorum looks like the guy right now with the best chance of winning” Ezra Klein, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC guest host, on Rick Santorum’s chance to win the Republican nomination.
