Santorum has decided to swim in the deep end of the pool with his tack toward the White House. It is surely an all-or-nothing path.
Is 2012 America willing to elect a candidate from the R's who is putting Faith and Morality front and center to match the Secularism of the incumbant party (and media, and academia, and big business, a plurality of Americans, the FSA, et al)?
Pat Buchanan weighs in. He doesn't make a prediction, but he articulates the strategy taken by Santorum.
Could Santorum be correct that America is starving for purpose and will climb aboard?
It's possible.
But I will stick with my conclusion yesterday: Santorum may win the Primary with this message, but he will be slaughtered in the General...
...unless the Economy is tanking. Then, I think, the general American voter will select anyone-but-Obama, even a social conservative.
Beating Romney is the first step, and this message may do it in the Primary.
Here's PJB's piece.
Here's a Flash from Drudge on the topic.

Santorum is comparing obama's "faith" or theology to the events that ran up to the French Rev.
ReplyDelete"They (the Obamaites) are taking faith and crushing it. Why? Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights, then what's left is the French Revolution. ... What's left in France became the guillotine."
That is a quite a statement for a Prez candidate. It will be interesting to see where this leads.
