When I first saw the headline I rolled my eyes, but as I read it I became horridly fascinated. The basis for the author's prediction is the the seemingly predictable cycles in both party's presidential nominations, which would seem to indicate Santorum will win the Republican nomination and defeat whoever the Democrats nominate.
Make of it what you will.

First of all, I've met the guy and I don't think Santorum is capable.
Then you have to consider he lost a Senate re-election campaign by 18 points.
Stranger things have happened, but I doubt this one will pan out. I'm not sure most of us even know the person who might eventually be nominated by name. How many outside of political circles knew Maobamas name 3 years before he was nominated?

Why a liberal thinks Rick Santorum will be the next US President

Meh, not so much. He lost against a very conservative Democratic opponent in a year when having an R behind your name was a death sentence.
Mitt Romney didn't even TRY to run for re-election in 2006.
If Santorum could unite the religious and TEA party wings of the GOP, he could get the nomination.
As for winning in the general, that would depend entirely on economic conditions.
I do think the next GOP nominee needs to be someone like Santorum- someone from a working class background who doesn't say dumb shit like "I'm not concerned about the very poor" and "I like to be able to fire people".

Just to "unspin" the spin you seem to want to regurgitate....
When he said he was not concerned about the very poor, he was in a conversation about how the "safety nets" for the very poor are solidly in place and do not need adjustments. He was agreeing that the very poor are taken care of, but it is the middle class who are struggling for they have lower incomes but their existing cost of living was higher. Only those that LOOK for spin would simply take it as him saying he does not care about the very poor.
When he said he likes to fire people, he was in a discussion about people who provide a service who sometiomes allow their greed or their laziness get the better of them thus affecting their service to the client...and how he would not hesitate to fire a service company if a service were sub par. Such is a basic prinicple for success as a business owner and success as a head of household. Only those that LOOK for spin would simply take it as him saying he likes to fire people.
I find it sad that you have trouble focusing on the topic of a conversation, thus putting you in a position to take things said out of context. It must make life very difficult for you.

No, I think it shows Romney telling us who he really was. You combine his comments about "I don't care about the very poor" combined with his "47%" comments, you see a guy who has nothing but contempt for those in the lowest tax brackets.

I think his attitude tells us a lot more about his personality than the 'context". He's a rich guy. he used to being able to push people around. So his solution to an insurance company not giving him good service is to bully them, an option most of us just don't have. I'd LOVE to be able to fire my current insurance company. I'm not in a position to do so. Neither are most of us.
This man has never gotten dirt under his fingernails or had to wait in line for something in his entire life, and it shows.

Not at all. I'm completely focused. The GOP just published a 100 page document saying pretty much what I'm saying in more verbose terms. The GOP has a SERIOUS image problem. Guys like Romney are a large part of that problem.
Santorum is an embarrassment to conservatism.

Got it. I know where you come from. No need to discuss this further.
