...Santorum has been in this 'liberal; state as a Senator since 1994...he wasn't all of a sudden voted out by a bunch of liberals...he was voted out primarily because the media joined him at the hip with Bush and Iraq, and because Casey has the PA bloodlines...
Santorum may have come out of this with more than I thought he had. The perception is that he put up a valiant fight and came out on the wrong end, as opposed to Allen who came out looking like a bumbler. If Santorum can mend fences with those who are still furious about his support for Specter*, he could be a formidable contender for the White House. I think I might support him if he were to try. His baggage train is shorter than the rest.
