The pause and stammer after is more damning than the 'nig' syllable.
Maybe he practiced the speech before with slurs included to get the emotions going and then tried to remove them for show time.
Of course there could be other explanations. In any event I wouldn't be surprised either way if this was just some weird verbal spasm or an actual aborted slur.
I'd really like to have seen that clip before I know what he was "supposed to" have said. Santorum doesn't seem to have mounted much of a defense against the accusation, just "that's ridiculous" and "I won't dignify that with a response" from his staff as far as I can tell.
What other words go there? The idea is that he was going to say "government n*gger" but Obama wasn't on welfare which is what the phrase refers to.

I never got that, why in this day and age a mixed person is still simply black.

because he's not white in the eyes of the tea party (hoodless kkk), and he's not white in the eyes of the left/black people, since they are well aware that a half-black president is better than nothing.
nobody on either side benefits from calling him white. tea party can stoke the flames of good old fashion patriotic racism while the left can take solace in the fact that our society has evolved by some small increment in allowing an unusually tan president to be elected.
so, I was helping a student with one of the concepts in intro-psych. iirc, we were talking about how people assign blame or something, and I was describing a guy who had just broken a vase.
Now, what I naturally was going to say was "What a douche", but realized mid statement that this probably wouldn't be the best idea, so instead, tried to say "jerk". I stumbled over the word, and sort of mashed the first phonemes from each word together, making it sound exactly like "Jew".
I'm not trying to defend Santorum, of course, hard to think of what he stumbled over, just sayin'.
