William McGurn at the WSJ says that Rick Santorum gets lampooned and worse in the lamestream media for really meaning what he says - as opposed to FHers, who ofetn are willing to mouth the same convictions, but for the purposes of avoiding a dust-up with the swath of Americans that still believes in God, decency, dignity and common sense.
The solution? Tie it all together, as we here at LITD have urged. Show that there is a synergy - a holistic unity, if you will - to the three pillars of conservatism. I think Santorum is well-positioned to do this. It will not lessen the catcalls and venom from the left, but it will put the finishing touches on a lot of voters' thought processes, getting them to see that there really are two main worldviews at work in the modern world, and that they're utterly incompatible.
