I love Santorum, but he lost didn't he?

Thank you so much for making my point for me. Santorum won twice largely because he was pro-life and the Dem wasn't. He lost when the Dems finally ran a pro-lifer.

Rudy will NOT be able to pull over pro-life Dems in key battleground states.

He lost to a guy that was a liberal in practically every other way and has voted against the war in Iraq in th US Senate since taking his seat. He sure as heck didn't lose to a 'Real conservative" as you call it.

Santorium was in a lot of trouble long before Casey got the Democrat nod. It was common knowledge for a long time that Santorium was the most vulnerable incumbent in the election cycle. His popularity ratings were low.

By running a pro-life Democrat with a popular family name, the Democrats just eliminated any chance of a comeback by Santorium.
