No. Santorum is a right-wing extremist. The country won't accept that.

Perhaps, but the GOP nomination may be within his reach. Romney still has the best chance in the General, considering the present field.
Nate Silver, based on polling, gives Santorum and Gingrich 3% chances each of winning Iowa's caucuses (FiveThirtyEight: 2012 Iowa Republican Caucus Projections - Election 2012 - NYTimes.com), which is also roughly Santorum's odds of capturing the nomination, according to intrade.com.
All this is to say that Santorum has an outside chance of beating Romney, but it's quite unlikely. It should be noted that Santorum isn't really a flawed candidate, he's just a fairly unaccomplished former Senator. That's not enough to stand out in a strong field, but in a field where all the other major candidates have serious issues it's enough to merit some attention.

Santorum is an empty head, like Bachmann. Romney's got it in the bag. No doubt.
oh boy- 4 years of captain anal leakage....
I don't like to say someone can't win nor do I like to claim someone will win but Santorum is so full of hate that I can't see him doing much of anything. He could pass Paul so I'm not playing a Paulite role here.
Santorum hates gays, like REALLY hates gays... He Hates Democrats, like REALLY hates them, he also hates Muslims, enough to start and expand wars... Santorum is also nothing more than a big Government Neocon, wants more wars in a time when most the country Republican and Democrat wants less... and is freakishly, extremely religious... That wins votes but that will lose him the GE by a massive huge crazy landslide to Obama.
Lol comical how the lefties care about GOP primaries so much.
^ Case in point as to why the concern Gingrich has demonstrated hes anything but qualified, exhibiting his ignorance of the judiciary is but one of many examples; and sound conservative principles is oxymoronic.I'm all for Newt. He is very qualified, a straight shooter, and has sound conservative principles.
