Santorum’s Backwardness

progressive.org — What a weird Tuesday it was, with Rick Santorum winning three contests on the same day that California’s Prop 8 was overturned. Santorum’s politics are yesterday. Gay marriage is today and tomorrow. But don’t tell the Republicans that. Santorum now seems to be the last hope of the anti-Romney crowd, and what an unlikely candidate he is. After all, he got trounced when he ran for reelection as a Pennsylvania Senator back in 2006. And for years, he’s been an object of ridicule for his primitive beliefs on sex and privacy. If Republicans want to lurch this far to the right, they can have him, but I’ve got to believe that a majority of voters will reject Santorum’s backwardness.
