I like Santorum and I think he would make a good president but why did he lose his last election so badly?

2006 was a horrible year for Republicans if you recall, they lost the House and Senate, many incumbent Republicans lost there races, and we got the nightmare of Pelosi and Reid.

Santorum got caught in that chaos, but he didn’t help himself either. He was blasted by the dems and the media for not paying school taxes in PA. He paid them late, but he couldn’t shake the charge. I think he would have lost anyway quite frankly, PA is a “purple” state because of it’s liberal albatross Philadelphia, otherwise it’s almost solid red. In a big dem year like 2006, Santorum was already doomed, IMO.
