“The fact that Santorum is the front-runner among the anti-Romney’s shows a fundamental flaw in the conservative community.”

IF you mean by “fundamental flaw” the social/moral conservatives...you are wrong. They aren’t a flaw, they are the true base of the GOP since Reagan. Without social/moral conservatives you DON’T have a GOP....it would become a minor party.

I’d like to add that describing Santorum supporters as social conservatives, who are interested more in abortion and freedom of religion is over simplifying. A big part of the reason that voters are supporting Santorum is because they thing that he is the only candidate who can get the job done, get rid of Obamacare, by pulling it out by the roots.

Speaking for myself, it is a mistake to think “fundamental flaw” referred to social conservatives themselves or their pro-life moral philosophy. The fundamental flaw is the inability of these folks to unite and tranlate what they agree on into political action without the infighting.

By fundamental flaw I mean inability to spot a con man.

Huckabee the Huckster was a con man.

Santorum the Sanctimonious is a con man.

Neither are conservatives, yet both got (and get) a tremendous amount of conservative support.

Fundamental Flaw.
