Henry Olsen is one of my favorite writers. He explains the problem with Santorum’s strategy to win over white (and not only white) working-class voters. Olsen just nails it and every right-of-center politician with national ambitions should read the article. I had some similar thoughts last month, but Olsen is a lot smarter than me, so he includes stuff like facts and social science to make his point.
But just because Santorum has issues doesn’t mean that he isn’t the best of the bunch that is running.
