I’ve covered Rick Santorum extensively over the last few days watching him take questions of all types from all kinds of people. The MSM has painted Santorum position on Gay Marriage as a huge problem for him here in NH but there was a much more significant Question that was asked and answered that I think was the most damaging moment for the Santorum Campaign in NH:
With every single moment of TV airtime purchased, there are two ways of getting the word out. One is retail politics and the other is the net.
New Hampshire is a state full of high tech and colleges people live on the net and on their smartphones, combine this with a libertarian streak and New Hampshire is a state that a law like SOPA is going to be hated.
I suspect that Rick Santorum who has been going all out to meet and talk to voters has had little time to study the issue of SOPA. When he answered the question above his answer was general in the sense that the internet could be regulated but did not give details on the bill itself.
I have updated to date 120 videos only my long video on a gay marriage outdrew this one on views. It not only had 80% more comments than any other video it accounted for 46% of all the comments overall and they were uniformly negative.
Will this make a difference in the future? With more and more of the country connected SOPA has the potential to be a critical topic. If I had to give the Santorum campaign one bit of advice, I suggest they study the SOPA closely and I would further suggest that both on the merits and on the politics, it is a bill worth opposing.
It’s too late to make a difference in NH but if this isn’t nipped in the bud it will be an excellent excuse for people to look elsewhere.
It would be a terrible shame if the letters SOPA were the epitaph chiseled on the grave of the Santorum Campaign.

Most of the online piracy originates outside of the united states. The country already does fine enough to seize the domains of sites that share pirated files.
Keep in mind, it was a site like Napster where the pirated/free sharing of music that led to the ipod, itunes, and record companies offering the music people actually want at a low price without having to purchase entire albums with one or two good songs on it.
I will be the first to admit, being conservative, that, though I had serious doubts about Santorum’s “a bit too far right” stance in the first place, his answer concerning SOPA sent him on a spiral downward, without any hesitation on my part. I also knew, I was not the only one affected.
SOPA is hated across the board by most groups and ideologies that have any ounce of respect for freedom.
I suspect that a lot of the negative comments are coming from Ron Paul supporters. Rick Santorum’s problem is that he is so anti-libertarian in outlook. Perhaps he doesn’t mean to, but Santorum comes across as a guy who wants to get into everybody’s business but his own.
Interestingly, Ron Paul has many of the same opinions as Rick Santorum on most of the social issues, but at the same time asserts that the government should not butt into these areas. That has a broader appeal, because you can buy into Ron Paul without having buy into all of his opnions.

SOPA SUCKS.
Get informed, R.S.!
