Santorum's main problem? Aside from the fact that he's the extremist's extremist? [View all]

It is that he doesn't come across as Presidential.

He's a sniveling little tattletale. He's a holier-than-thou Sunday School teacher who you suspect is having an affair with the Church secretary. He's the guy in your 3rd grade class who raises his hand and says, "Mrs. Marshall? Joey acted up when you left the room and Susie passed a note to Lisa." No director would cast him as the US President in any movie, no matter how farcical.

(Of course his extreme views and abundance of ethic problems don't matter to the GOP, but my above theory will doom the guy)
