"Updated: The commentators are probably right: it must have been Santorum’s toxicity within the gay community that deprived him of his hope of administration patronage after his defeat in 2006. If so, that’s a fascinating glimpse of the actual balance of power within the GOP as it stood five years ago–as compared to today."

Still, one supposes a cushy law firm job, which would carry zero public limelight, would've been appropriate.

dude, it wasn't his opposition to homosexuality that turned the GOP base against him

It was a lot of things, "dude", but that doesn't mean it ruined his reputation too much among the GOP establishment, base, and the Bush Administration.
