The only reason this contraception issue was brought up by the Obama administration was to generate an issue to remove another threat to itself...the threat of Rick Santorum becoming a powerful GOP candidate. The Dims also knew that there would be some damage to other conservatives because of this. Santorum is now mortally damaged because of this issue (The way the Media portrayed Santorum’s stance on contraception), and conservative personalities and the Tea Party are grappling with dealing with this issue instead of other more important issues.

Agree with your assessment this issue was manufactured to damage Rick Santorum. On Saturday, Mrs. OLA fielded a land line telephone call from the Santorum campaign. The caller seemed surprised when Mrs. OLA said she'll be voting for Rick on Tuesday. The caller wouldn't elaborate when quizzed over the telephone canvassing process results.
For the last three weeks, Myth and RuPaul have been bombarding the Southern Ohio broadcast outlets with negative campaign advertising against Rick Santorum. Thinking Rick Santorum's own mother wouldn't vote for Rick after this slime.
Cheers,
OLA
