How much of the “women’s vote” did Santorum get in Missouri, Tennessee, Colorado, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississipi, Louisiana and other states he won, and in Michigan and Wisconsin where he got within 3-5% of Romney who outspent him by about a hundred million bucks?
Santorum turned out to be a real sleeper and was coming on strong when the GOP-e smothered his inconveniently successful campaign
I'm talking about the general. Santorum would have been completely laughed out of town and would have gotten far less of the women's vote (particularly in swing states) than Romney.
