Here are some thoughts from Politico:
4) Rick Santorum is trying to rise above the fray
Santorum followed a terrific debate last Thursday night with a less memorable performance, marked by very little effort to insert himself into the action.
That seems to have been by design, because his campaign sent out a statement at the end of the debate highlighting his ability to rise above the fray. But it meant that he wasn’t really a part of the flow until the very end, when he went after both Gingrich and Romney.
The problem for Santorum, who’s low on cash, is he’s running out of opportunities to make his case as the noncombustible conservative alternative on a big stage with a lot of viewers.
That said, just like the rest, he’ll get another chance Thursday night.
