Nope, no way. Too young, too brash, too much a showboater. I don't think he is viewed as a heavyweight among his collegues. I don't mean to be harsh, and I don't claim to be the pro on this, but this is my sense of it.

Torie, from what I have read, a heavyweight is not what is required for a leader. I have read time and time again, that Senator's egos are such that they do not want the "brightest light" leading them, they just want somebody who gets along with everybody and can present a good face on tv. I don't know if they will view Santorum thusly, but lack of intellectual credentials has never been a stumbling point in becoming ML.
