Study: Santorum blinks more than his GOP rivals

Smart Politics finds Santorum blinks more than competitors.

The blog by the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs studied the blink rate of the five candidates who participated in Saturday's GOP debate in Manchester, N.H. The study found Santorum blinks 61.4 times per minute or twice the average rate of his GOP competitors. Most people blink 24 times per minute, according to an American Academy of Neurology journal.
