It may be so. However, I would very much hope that Santorum's candidacy breaks the dam on religious freedom just like Goldwater's campaign paved the way for cold-war conservatism of Reagan or Rush Limbaugh's radio program articulated the fiscal conservatism of the Gingrich revolution. Rick may lose this time, but he is raising a critical issue which the GOP cowards are afraid to talk about. And he is young. His caliber as a politician of national appeal just rose. He is a courageous man.
I think it was Newt who made the first remarks about the administration ’s war on religion.
