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.

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.
