“Hatch isn’t great, but he’s definitly NO McCain. I know Levin was pushing Hatch. I think Hatch still has some “conservative” in his bones. Hatch is best when he’s pi$$ed.”
I take Levin endorsements with a grain of salt these days. Santorum’s claim to fame was purely on religious issues. Even his platform page started out with discussing the evils of pornography. It was obvious from the beginning that the image he was projecting, and the weakness of how easy it was to pin that image on him, would only divide the conservative vote. And I really doubt Levin comprehends that we’ve already lost the Presidential fight with Mittens as the nominee. He might win the Presidency, mind, but he’s not winning it for the base of the party. Count on that. His victory belongs to the GOPe.
I consider Santorum, with the help of people like Levin, the same kind of spoiler Huckabee was last time around. I hope I never see him in politics again. If I do, I’ll remind everyone that he endorsed Mittens twice in a row, and Specter for President, and Right to Work, and so on and so forth.

He didn't like the money chase. I see book tour in this guy's future and not much else...although I wouldn't put past him maybe a Penn Gubernatorial try in 2014, IF Corbett gets picked up by Mitten's Cabinet.
