The man who wouldn't take "no" for an answer

The Republican primary is interesting, in that the supposed front runner (Mitt Romney) can't seem to break past 25% support in the polls. There have been a lot of challengers - Perry, Cain, Gingrich - and all have faded. When that happens, you'd expect Romney's support to tick up a couple points. After 3 or 4 times, he should have picked up 10-15% more support. So where is he?
The Des Moines Register poll, in an unusual announcement, revealed that Santorum was much stronger in interviews that were conducted on the final two days of the four-day survey period than in the first two days. Santorum placed second to Romney in that later period. The overall results were Romney at 24%, Paul at 22%, and Santorum at 15%. But in the final two days, Romney was at 24%, Paul was down to 18%, and Santorum was at 21%.

Romney is Mr. Twenty-Five Percent..... continued here
