He just piously sneaks around with no one attacking him and he and his supporters act like that means he’s “above the fray” and of course it’s not...he’s just not taken seriously by anyone.

Exactly. Let’s face it - when you get right down to it, Rick Santorum is just another establishment big-government guy who dances to the tune he’s told to by the insiders. Why do you think he supported Arlen Specter over the much more conservative Pat Toomey in 2004? Sure, I like that he’s socially conservative, but even then, he’s sort of like Mike Huckabee - uses his social conservatism as a cover for “faith-based” social gospel big-governmentism.
