Balz: Santorum Extreme

The Washington Post's Dan Balz has a long column on Rick Santorum's chances in the general election, should he get the nomination. Honestly, they don't look good.

Balz quotes knowledgeable insiders as seeing him getting swamped like Barry Goldwater in 1964. One said he would be “a Martian to women in the suburbs.” Another said Santorum would be "eviscerated" by the Democrats.

However you feel about Santorum, this article covers his more controversial statements thoroughly. Rick has made a bunch of non-mainstream comments.
