Call me a skeptic (or a shill), but I think I am being more level-headed than those who think last night put Santorum on the fast track.

• He’s not a limited government guy.  That’s one of the reasons.
• Advice Santorum should not take.  No matter how many times she says it.
• Why haven’t the unions gone nuts in Indiana like they did in Wisconsin?  Maybe it’s the water.  Or the cheese.
• I wish they had Chick-fil-A, whatever that is, in Ithaca.
• Not shocked. Clint Eastwood’s Chrysler Super Bowl Ad: The Untold Obama Connection (h/t @ProfBainbridge)
• Has the government ever warned us about pro-government extremists?  Why would it, it’s the government.  Gets Fuzzy mad, which may get her put on a watch list.
• The Media’s Shameful, Inexcusable Distortion Of The Supreme Court’s Citizens United Decision (h/t @SissyWillis)
• Second best thing I have read today, ‘Dogs Against Romney’ Protester Pulled Over For Suspected Animal Abuse (h/t @MicheleWalk, who says “rut-rah”)
• Best thing I have read today.  Rut-rah!  Mitt Romney’s Secret Service Detail Clobbers Potential Glitterbomber (h/t @LachlanMarkay)

• More
• Seven Minutes Of Rick Santorum Talking About How Great Mitt Romney Is (h/t CWLsun in Tip Line).  Mitt Romney “understands why he is a conservative, … it’s not just in his head anymore, it’s in his heart.”  Sounds like Santorum was, um, brainwashed.
• WaPo columnist about to lose friends: “Or maybe it’s dawning on Wisconsinites — even some who don’t like Walker’s policies — that it would be a disaster to cut his term in half at the behest of a special interest group. That would confirm Wisconsin’s public-sector unions as the state’s de facto rulers, which really would be the end of democracy.”  (h/t MaggotAtBroadAndWall in Tip Line).
