Yunz probably couldn't tell I'm not a Santorum fan because I hide it so well. In any case I just did a search on him and found this on WIkipedia so take it for what it's worth.

Excerpted.

Santorum received a law degree from the Dickinson School of Law, was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar, and began practicing in Pittsburgh. During his time at the law firm Kirkpatrick & Lockhart, he represented the World Wrestling Federation, arguing that professional wrestling should be exempt from federal anabolic steroid regulations because it was not a sport.

And

Santorum first became actively involved in politics through volunteering for the late Senator John Heinz

IOW if you liked John Heinz (and Theresa and the Tides foundation, et al) yunz all will LOVE Santorum!

Oh, Even more...

In 2005 a coalition of animal rights groups, spearheaded by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the Doris Day Animal League (DDAL) mounted a failed effort to push the Pet Animal Welfare Statute of 2005 (PAWS) through Congress. The bill was proposed by Senator Santorum and sponsored by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Arlen Specter (then-R-PA). PAWS would have reclassified most small and hobby breeders as commercial breeders subjecting them to USDA regulations, allowed home inspections and placed fees and compliance expenses on pet breeders. Fellow Congressmen were told that PAWS was "the puppy mill bill". This was Santorum's third failed attempt at pet-related legislation.

There is even more including a pretty fair recounting of his residency status as I recall it on the wikipedia website.

Instead check out the link Non-residency issues have raised questions of hypocrisy, in that Santorum had previously castigated Representative Doug Walgren for moving away from his district.

NO SANTORUM!
