I think evangelicals have caught on to the fact that they have been pandered to and then ignored by mainstream Republicans, and they're sick of it; in Santorum, they see someone who holds their beliefs unambiguously. While I would expect that he would go quiet over these issues in a general election, I have no doubt that he would attempt to implement bible-based policy in the unlikely event that he is elected.
