Santorum may be a strong contender for 2016- assuming that Romney loses this year (and Smerconish seems to think he will). It will certainly be interesting to see what the GOP is going to look like in 4 years. If Romney loses, I imagine that that is only going to push the GOP further to right (how much further can they go before they fall off the map?) and, in that case, Santorum might be more "viable" next time.
