And when exactly should Santorum "tip his hand" that he's a Christian who believes in family values, honest work, and freedom of religion. Guarantee the fighter planes would be carpet bombing by the time Obama got done with him.
Or maybe the message is to never bring it up. To deny your faith in order to appease the left. Well, count me out.

Look, it was foolish for Rick to get into the minutiae of contraceptive practices at every stump and in the debate, and expect to get a crown and a pass.
He could have taken the road every other experienced pol would take who would have spotted instantly such a glaring trap set before them.
He could have hammered home the governmental assault on the Freedom of Religion in America, and said his personal religious views were his own. He could have slammed the home run Newt executed instead, and turned the question trap on Obama never hearing a question on his after birth infanticide vote in Illinois.
Heck no. Rick makes the minutiae of contraception the centerpiece of his campaign, for days.
Women voters have reportedly already been in Romney’s camp for some time. Why antagonize women voters, few who are even aware of Humana Vitae, probably can’t spell it, nor share the opinion that preventing pregnancy is actually abortive and not preventive of conception at all.
The “right time”, in a Godless society, would be after attaining elective office, not BEFORE getting there.
Oh, Rick *was* in elective office. How did that work out for family values? Not much.
Sorry to be cranky.
