Still More Santorum.

Andrew Sullivan offers a Santorum-fest. Well worth reading. And there's this editorial from the Washington Post, a Richard Cohen column, and Howard Kurtz's media wrapup.

Also, USA Today provides a nice overview of the GOP's gay problem.

As expected, the "wingnuts" of the religious right are stepping up to embrace Santorum. But conservative Stanley Kurtz, who says he opposes sodomy laws but doesn't support using courts to overturn them, writes what is at least an interesting defense of the Pennsylvania senator's comments. (Sullivan, however, has little difficulty taking it apart.)

Then there are the Utah polygamists upset over Santorum's linking of polygamy with homosexuality!

By the way, a colleague notes that the Human Rights Campaign, the big gay liberal lobby, joined with civil rights groups in demanding that Sen. Trent Lott resign his senate leadership spot over expressions of nostalgia for segregation, but that the civil rights establishment has been noticeably silent on Santorum's defense of arresting gays in their bedrooms.
