If Santorum can win in '06 with the entire Demo establishment targeting him as the most high profile conservative vulnerable to defeat, IMO there will be high interest in him as a Vice Pick or member of the cabinet to sway Penn to GOP. One trouble with that scenario. We don't have a Governor to appoint an equally conservative GOP Senator. GOP isn't going to want to lose a proven conservative vote getter in a "blue" state.
We will if Swann runs for Gov. in '06. With a re-elected Santorum and a republican governor we'd surely be the red state I believe we are.
