“Santorum was in Gettysburg the other night, and the entire South Central PA area turned out for him.”

Just curious—Why couldn’t he get re-elected in PA then?

Several factors. First, 2006 was a bad year for pubbies in general. Second, the MSM launched a full broadside of attacks against him - some of which have been shamelessly and uncritically re-used by his opponents on FR. And third, the Dems finally ran an ostensible pro-lifer against Santorum - Bob Casey Jr. might be weak-chinned, but his father was about the last great pro-life Dem, and pro-life Dems remembered the name. Throw all of those together and the deck was stacked against Santorum in 2006.
