re: #175 freetoken

Santorum doesn’t meet the first rule - be part of the establishment power structure. Unlike Dole, the Bushes, McCain, and Romney, Santorum is not friends with the uber-rich and powerful. Santorum represents the religious right, which have been used by the rich and powerful as foot soldiers but who are not allowed to pick the top of the ticket.

This is the basic fault line within the GOP. The religious right has been used by the GOP establishment for decades. When they finally get tired of it, the results will be interesting.
