I'm a Santorum fan (see typo correction). But he faced an impossible situation: The son of a former governor, running as a Democrat on a Republican platform, when his party had tremendous momentum. That's why I wouldn't discount Santorum if he chose to run, or was added to a ticket. He went up against a political perfect storm and he lost. I have no doubt that he would carry his home state as a VP candidate. That being said, I am going to trust Casey on abortion until I see otherwise. There are a lot of Republican candidates that I would like to see out of office ahead of him.

Because the one blemish on his record, supporting Specter, was too much for them to bear. They were going to punish this bastion of conservativism, and they did. They showed him. They showed us too. Now we have Casey, who is far better Senator representing our interests in the Senate. That is complete barbra streisand and you know it. Conservatives didn't punish Santorum for supporting Specter by staying home on election day. The liberals and the democrat vote fraud machine in Philly and Pittsburgh turned out in full force. Squishy independents/undecideds leaned toward Casey, who ran as a conservative democrat.

If you want to see otherwise, just scroll up to the top of this page. There is a news story re Casey addressing the pro-life advocates in D.C. today. He refused to say that he would only support a pro-life candidate for POTUS 2008.

Would I prefer to have Santorum in office? Of course. But I am just happy we got a guy who may vote with us on this issue. Of course he is going to support his own party's candidate for president. Olympia Snowe is an across the board pro-abortion Eastern Orthodox Republican senator who will probably endorse whatever candidate we put up there. Who would you prefer?

Oh, gee, yah, supporting Specter is such a huge sin, who's pro-choice, but supports most pro-life judges, that we'd rather have a guy who's pro-life in theory, but won't vote for pro-life judges.
Brilliant.

Unfortunately, that is not going to happen. That being said, as I believe I pointed out earlier in this thread, I have no doubt that he would carry his home state as the VP candidate. Remains to be seen if his character has been irrevocably damaged around the rest of the country, where voters are not as familiar with him.

I'm just repeating in jest what many people on this site said at the time: that they could not forgive Santorum for supporting Specter. I don't necessarily agree with that argument, since I place Santorum's lose at the feet of the media for their numerous manufactured scandals which pushed the independents towards Casey.

Glad to hear your comment was in jest. I'm getting very tired of the "thanks for staying home and teaching the rest of us a lesson" comments regarding the election. The dems won the majority through a combination of scandals, media cheerleading for liberals, and resultant shift in the "independents" to vote for dems. Overall, I suspect the "stay at home conservatives" were extremely few in number and had minimal impact on the balance of power in either house.
