Santorum vote: less a vote for Santorum than a vote of no confidence in Romney’s persuasive abilities

Santorum or Romney? Culture War or Class War?

by Dr. Paul Kengor

The question for Republicans right now seems obvious: Would you prefer Rick Santorum or Mitt Romney to run against Barack Obama?

Well, it depends on whether you prefer to engage President Obama on cultural grounds or on terms of class warfare. 

Obama and his chief political strategist, David Axelrod, are going to give us one or the other. 

Thus, maybe the better question is: Can Santorum articulate and defend social conservatism better than Romney can defend free markets? Which of the two is a more forceful, eloquent spokesperson for the area that Obama and Axelrod will use to define and malign him?
