Santorum Southern Wins

Rick Santorum's victories in Mississippi and Alabama are not unexpected. Part of the Republican base is still uncomfortable with Mitt Romney and this won't change until the inevitability of Romney's candidacy becomes clear. But Romney's nomination is inevitable. Only Romney can challenge the President effectively on the economy. At the same time, Santorum's social views are way outside of the mainstream - from my perspective his beliefs in this area are incompatible with the traditional libertarian foundation of the Republican Party. There are enough Republicans who may not be fully satisfied with Romney that know that if Santorum were to be the nominee, Obama would landslide the election. Romney will still win this nomination fight.
