I fear he is quite vulnerable in the next election but I'm glad he stands by his principles (mostly).

To get a feel for the size of the job - there are 1580 websites that link to the bad site... some of them are reasonably high traffic and count a good bit to google but many are low traffic.

Here is the list if you want to compare, a concerted effort by conservative bloggers should be able to do this, if there is interest. But the campaign needs to stealthy since there are thousands of liberal and/or "humor" sites that might join in if it becomes a public fight.

Santorum has recently very publicly retreated from the 'intelligent design' movement he once championed. After the federal judge in Harrisburg struck down the Dover School District's attempt to add 'intelligent design' into the science curriculum, Santorum said he disagreed with the school board for mandating intelligent design in science classes.

In 2002 he wrote that 'intelligent design' "is a legitimate scientific theory that should be taught in science classes." Santorum was sitting on the advisory board of the conservative Thomas More Law Center, which defended the Dover school board and turned the case into a national referendum on creationism in the classroom. Two weeks ago he changed his tune and criticized the law center, saying it "made a huge mistake in taking this case." And he announced he would resign from the Thomas More board.
