Santorum grew up in western Pennsylvania at a time when the economy in that part of the state was experiencing a decline.

Consequently, he tends to support government as a solution to problems more than do other Republicans.

I really believe he should run for Governor of Pennsylvania and expand his political experience. It would be a good move for him and a political resume enhancer. If he demonstrates the ability to govern as a conservative, I would seriously consider voting for him in a future presidential election.

I want to add that I am not anti-Santorum nor anti-Perry. What I want in terms of a President is someone like Winston Churchill, only he's dead.

You are aware that Winnie was a Lib Dem? ;)

“Using a thick blue pencil, Churchill marked in Sharp’s pamphlet the sections about the Indiana legislation and the operations that had been carried out on both men and women to sterilise them. In September 1910, Churchill wrote to his Home Office officials asking them to investigate putting into practice the “Indiana Law”-dominated by sterilisation, and the prevention of the marriage of the “Feeble-Minded.” Churchill wrote: “I am drawn to this subject in spite of many Parliamentary misgivings....Of course it is bound to come some day.” Despite the misgivings, “It must be examined.” He wanted to know “what is the best surgical operation?” and what new legal powers would be needed to carry out sterilisation.”
