National Review worries that Santorum is letting the theocon cat out of the bag:
[Santorum] has not always shown that he knows how to pick his battles wisely, or that he understands that voters want a president with a suitably modest conception of a president’s proper role in national life. At an intellectual level Santorum must understand these points: He has not repeated his comment about using the presidency to turn the culture away from contraception. The challenge before him is to marry his self-confidence to a more consistent exercise of discrimination and tact.
I.e. to fake it like Romney. Dreher is more succinct:
It’s a fine, fuzzy line between having convictions and being an ideologue. Santorum doesn’t indicate that he knows where that line is, or that there even is a line.
Because when your convictions emanate from Truth, as revealed to the Pope, why would or should there be a line at all?
