Will be an interesting commentary on American politics to see just how this works out.

I am pretty cynical about it. It energizes the left, as your reaction has shown. The right plays defense, and waits for it to go away. My guess is that it has no legs with the swing.

You have to realize, John, the Santorum's position is the standard position of the Catholic Church. Twenty one percent of this country is Catholic. It is the standard position of the Evangelicals. Look at these stats on them.

"Evangelical Christianity is the world's fastest-growing religious movement, researchers said. There are 645 million evangelicals in the world, about 11% of the world's population, the U.S. Center for World Mission and researchers Patrick Johnstone and David Barrett said. The movement is growing 3.5 times faster than the world population, and Pentecostal and Charismatic churches are growing 4.5 times faster. "That makes evangelical Christianity the fastest-growing major religious group and the only movement growing significantly through conversion," Johnstone said."

I see these type of issues as base energizers.
