Max Blumenthal analyzes the post-Senate recordof the potential dark horse 2012 Republican presidential hopeful, noting (accurately) that Santorum’s sinecure at the Ethics and Public Policy Center — his Program to Protect America’s Freedom — has given Santorum some chances to comment on foreign policy, but little else. That’s been enough to broaden his image beyond what it was when The New York Times first looked at him as a possible presidential candidate, back in 2005 — that of a social issues extremist.
