I’ve always like Santorum, but he did one thing tonight that I thought was pretty low....well several, but this one stuck in my craw.

He and Newt were certainly partners in the GOP takeover in 1994. But not only did he give Newt no credit (when he clearly deserves most of it), but he talked about behind-closed-doors discussions. Really low-rent.

I’d like to see just one person ask this qustion of one of the backstabbers who served with Newt back then:

“If Newt is so unstable, erratic, and undisciplined, how did he even GET to be Speaker over 250 other candidates?”

I now view Santorum pretty much as a scumbag.

Huh? IIRC, Santorum was a junior House member and ran for the US Senate in '94!

Didn't Santorum serve in the Senate 2 terms? '94 -2000; 2000-2006 and then get defeated?
