Voters are clearly turned off by his clear-the-field, money-bomb, Bain-style campaign tactics. He's trying to do a leveraged buyout of the presidency and the people see through it. If Romney tries to do to Santorum what he did to Gingrich, evangelical voters will be enraged.

3. They tolerate Catholics more than Mormons. And there isn't a Baptist in the race.
