Santorum is insane. And a real right wing nut job. I hope he is the nominee!

Obama would win in a landslide! It would make me less nervous!

This leaves the center and the center-right wide open for Obama to harvest votes. Why, then, would he pay any mind to the center left, the left, or God forbid, the far left?

As long as we have a right-wing nut job as a Republican candidate, the Democrats will just continue to drift to the right.

Extreme enough (even to the GOP) that he's seriously
unlikely to be elected though 80 years ago he might
have made it big in some poor European country.

Giving him a platform with wide exposure will do more harm than good.

Santorum is only dangerous because of the nuts living in the dark ages who would vote for him.
