Must be nice not only not to have to work for a living, but to pursue hopeless endeavors for kicks.
A definite Masochist.
He didn’t just not get reelected, he suffered the worst loss of any incumbent Senator in history. He is a pure politician and shameless opportunist and the people of Pennsylvania recognized that.
Santorum lost 1 out of the 4 races he ran in a deep blue state as an unabashed Conservative. Can you point out any other candidates in this Primary that can say the same? He lost in a terrible GOP year against a Pro Life Rat who talked as a traditional values believer. On the other hand Paul never even ran state wide in TX because he knows no one would vote for him. That there is pathetic.
Santorum lost in Pennsylvania as a protest vote against George Bush’s conduct of the war in Iraq. In 2006 when Santorum lost, Bush announced that he would stay the course and keep Rumsfield. Pennsylvania, which is 2 to 1 Democrat, was fed up with Bush so they took it out on Santorum who was high up in the Senate power structure and was seen as Bush’s lackey. Bush’s obnoxious nickname for Santorum was “Little Ricky.”
Santorum now outpolls Obama in Pennsylvania. Look at Santorum if you don’t want to vote Romney. He’s certainly better than Gingrich or Paul or Bachmann. He’s a good guy and he believes what he is talking about.
