Santorum filled the social conservative role in the primary at this point. As it is now, a decent 3 way race is Santorum for social conservatives, Romney as the establishment candidate, and Paul as the libertarian candidate and they can battle it out. For real fun would be Perry or Newt hanging around and stealing some delegates also, and make the convention a real cluster of ducks. Paul has to start winning some candidates though.
