If Santorum were to be nominated, the odds are that Obama would win in a landslide. For that reason, at least for now, I will continue to reassure myself that he is ultimately a trivial candidate, which, according to the Bambridge school of journalism, justifies more “Rick is for real” articles. But what if he really is for real? What if America has turned into such a divided and embittered country that a figure like Santorum can mount a credible bid for not just the nomination but the Presidency? What would that say about us?
