I doubt this will factor into the voting pattern of anybody who didn't already agree with Santorum.

I would look at it the other way: it won't upset anyone who doesn't already hate Santorum. Another thing to note: Hispanics. If the GOP has the balls to make this an issue, the Democratic party of Texas could cease to exist, permanently. It could even make the GOP competitive in California.

Not true.

I've always liked Santorum..have considered him a rising star in the Republican party.
I actually prefered Santorum over Frist for the post of Senate ML.

But this controversy has really made me wonder about his political judgement.

I don't begrudge him his personal religious beliefs when it comes to the issue of sexual morality, in fact I share them.
But he should know that the majority of Americans don't want a govt that attempts to regulate the private sexual behavior of consenting adults when it comes homosexuality and adultery.
As a result, I now think Santorum has made himself look stupid and intemperate and the fact that he hasn't been able to gracefully diffuse the controversy makes me serious question his leadership abilities.

Funny how this delusion exists almost entirely outside of California. Those of us who live in California wonder how much longer it will take California to officially join Mexico. Not much longer if current GOP policies continue.
