Rick Santorum has already broached the subject in Puerto Rico, demanding this week that the U. S. territory adopt English as its official language in order to achieve statehood. (Mitt Romney, predictably, is pandering to the Spanish-speaking islanders, after doing everything he possibly could to alienate Hispanic voters with his harsh stance on immigration reform. Surprised?)
As the economy recovers (jobless claims were down again yesterday and the stock market was up), don't be too surprised if the Republicans focus more and more on issues dear to the party's right wing (and irrelevant to everyone else), such as contraception, gay marriage and now -- you watch -- the "English-only movement."
