Santorum supporters are impervious to all facts and reason (otherwise they would not support Santorum). This means even a trillion dollars in a super-duper-attack-ad-pac, with 24/7 attack ads on all US TV, would just be money wasted.

I'm also far too partisan - and too bruised by 2004 - to make any accurate assessments about electability.

But am am very concerned, increasingly concerned about Santorum.

The religious fundies (there are LOTS of them) are really fired up about the contraception thing. For them it's about FREEDOM, not about contraception.
