Santorum took a little to long to get to his point in answer to Juan Williams, but he built his argument so well, so carefully, and so convincingly, that when he explained how the Obama administration is exacerbating black poverty, he absolutely crushed it out of the park. It was a very, very eloquent answer, and devastatingly effective politically — compassionate and very conservative at the same time, without being George W. Bush-like “compassionate conservative.” Awesome.
