Simile trumps metaphor as the former Pennsylvania Senator immediately regretted the out of context possibilities and reached to minimize the potential by adding, “…she sprinkles fairy dust on candidates and they win!” Santorum was guest hosting on Bill Bennett’s “Morning in America” radio program Friday morning.

Representative Gresham Barrett, fell far behind after an early primary lead but managed to force a run-off with the beleaguered favorite of the tea party set. Santorum gave deference to the Palin “magic” and predicted she will be a force in a GOP resurgence this year and through 2012.
