Yes, I do know about the electoral college. And Penn. was one of the "close states" if I remember. And you would not have known that it would not have come down to it. So looking back you pretend you know it all and it would not have hurt anything, oh my.
Who was it that you would of voted for?
Anyway what are the specific bills that Santorum has supported that you don't like? Who in the senate who you like did not also support those bills? Did anyone you like support Specter for the chair of the Judicial Committee? What senators do you like?
I think you are a discontent to not be happy with a man who is much better than the average senator, and in my opinion one of the very best.

If by close, you mean 120,000 votes, then yeah, it was close.

I would have, should have voted 3rd party as a protest. The GOP at the National level is acting like the Democrats with their 'borrow and spend, government knows best' attitude.

Give me some time and I'll come up with a senator that I respect. Off hand, none come to mind.

Santorum has been good on most of the high profile issues. I have acknowledged that. He has been less than great on the not so high profile votes and that is troublesome.

I related an incident where I confronted him about SS. He defended it as though it was his idea. That is very troubling. SS is a Ponzi scheme and socialism at it's worst and he defended it.

I am very upset with him. My assumption is that he has just been playing a role -- Ricky Santorum appearing as "The Firebrand Conservative" coming to a theater near you.

I might be wrong.

He may not be duplicitous at all.

Maybe he's being blackmailed.

Maybe he was bought off with promises of higher office.

Maybe he is just spineless.

There are just so many possibilities. You can pick the one that you think fits best.
