Rick Santorum's Google problem remains

XD I love how OP linked every mention of his name to that page^^

It's not really "google" problem per se though. People are just better than his team at "online referencing" (not sure of the word here)
And I doubt Google can do or are willing to do shit (joke intended) about that.

I believe google's actually been asked, and pretty much said they can't and aren't willing to do shit. :) I'll have to hunt for the sauce on that, though.

I do love the ignorance of the internet that is conveyed by simple things like "Why hasn't his campaign dealt with this?" Because it's not that easy!

EDIT: Article at the Seattle PI

Yeah I just can't with people thinking internet is super easy.
Sure it's user friendly when you're doing the research but try writting some code...

Or, in this case, assuming that you'll be able to motivate a huge number of people regularly over time, which is actually why the redefinition worked. Each instance of the link is easy, you can't just hire an intern to do it -- masses on the net are working against you!

Pretty much^^
The easiest way for him to stop the trend would be to shut up and go back to oblivion, or change his opinion and became a nice polite loving guy.
Both seem unlikely

:) I'm just doing my part to spread the word about the true definition of santorum (well, that, and this is more fun than doing the homework I should be doing)
