FAIL. The fact that Santorum would admit voting for something he didn’t believe in just to play nice with the establishment shows he’s not ready for this.
All senators do this. Vote for something their president wants even though they have reservations. Vote for a huge bill that has good things in it, but also things one doesn’t agree with.
Overall, Santorum had a good conservative record in the Senate.
I’m not a Santorum guy, but let’s face it... Everyone was attacking him tonight except Newt, the nasty little Ron Paul and Romney were particularly vicious.
I didn’t think he did too badly... not as badly as I’m seeing from comments on this forum.
I’m glad I actually watched the whole thing so I know for myself. He did a decent job defending his Specter vote and Specter did keep his promise about Supreme Court nominees. Where would we be if we hadn’t gotten Roberts and Alito on the Court. Don’t even like to think about it.
