Radio Smart Talk for Monday, January 9:
Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum surprised many people last week by almost winning the Iowa Caucases in the first contest of the 2012 presidential election. Mitt Romney came out on top of the Republican field, but edged Santorum by just eight votes.
Santorum's showing in Iowa gave his campaign a bounce, but is it enough to beat Romney in the nation's first primary Tuesday in New Hampshire? As the former governor of neighboring Massachusetts, Romney has always been the comfortable leader in polls of New Hampshire voters.
Romney is confident enough in New Hampshire that he has campaigned in South Carolina since Iowa voted. Does that give Santorum an opening to make up ground and how will New Hampshire voters respond to Santorum's social conservative rhetoric and record?
We'll look at the ever-changing Republican presiential race on Monday's Radio Smart Talk with Franklin and Marshall College political analyst Dr. G. Terry Madonna and get the latest from New Hampshire Public Radio.

2. Santorum's positions are increasingly frightening.
3. Do you and Dr. Madonna think that Conservative Republican positions especially on funding public education will be acceptable in states like Pennsylvania where massive Fed and State Funding cuts are still hurting local school districts?
