Move along, folks. No racist dog whistles to see here.

Rick Santorum scored a thinly veiled racist twofer in his condemnation of Romney as not offering a "clear contrast" to Obama.

“We need contrasts,” Mr. Santorum said, “not just a paler shade of what we have.”

A paler shade of what we have. I guess Romney is nothing but a lighter skinned Obama. An "other" by any other name, or shade, is still an "other."

Is "Mormon" the new "almost black"?
