Do you have any idea why?
********************
Didn’t ask me but because Santorum isn’t black.
You are partially correct and you hit the single most important difference: But not only is Santorum not black, he is also not:
A: cool (sweater vest)
B: going to be protected by the media (they HATE social conservatives)
C: devoid of any political record (very wimpy record)
D: charismatic (yeah, right)
And on and on.
