Santorum (despite his good points, which he has) is not really a conservative and has no real objection to Romney

He has an 88.1% rating from the American Conservative Union and isn't a conservative?

I’ve read a lot here in FR on the subject and I have become convinced that historically he is very pro-union and that he did vote for many big-spending projects. Also, that high rating was one of his years in office, not all of his years.

Is he more conservative than Romney? Probably.

Is he an actual conservative in his thinking? I don’t believe so.

I believe that it would not be a big problem for him, ideologically, to team up with Romney.

There’s another thing. The ACU is happy to rate our politicians, but do nothing to warm the bench for our future guys. They’re like some kind of credit score outfit that they themselves don’t even care about.
