I think Santorum, on the other hand, is still playing nicely enough... I really don't think he's gotten out of line at all to the point of disqualifying himself out of a future.
Gingrich has been multi-tasking careers for years...
He always has a dozen things on the go...
Dude has foundations, make movies, writes books, speeches, etc...
His consulting fees have gone from $30,000/hr to $60,000/hr.
Santorum, by contrast = obscure washed-up ex-Senator...
Is currently an imploding washed-up ex-Senator...
And will be an obscure washed-up ex-Senator in 3 months.
When you are a heavyweight like Gingrich...
You have the luxury of burning a few bridges.
When you are a lightweight like Santorum...
It hardly matters what you do before you disappear.
