It was a bad move on his part but he is still one of the most principled Republican’s in the country. Why should we write off Santorum forever when we are happy to support more moderate republicans like Thompson. We can’t win if we eat our own. We have to have some grace and forgiveness for our champions.
My principles aren't for sale, at any price. Santorum will now have to prove his aren't up for grabs when the next important decision comes around and he jumps when a traitor snaps his fingers.
