I hate when Santorum lets moderators put him on the defensive and thus comes across as weak and ineffectual.

altura, I watched the interview, and came out with a totally different perspective. Santorum did quite well, it was the interviewer that failed. Wallace was especailly combative over stupid issues. For heaven's sake asking Santorum about his charitable giving and comparing it to Romney's and obama's - why so cheap, Santorum? Santorum explained he spent a lot of money on his family (especially the disable daughter), IOW, taking care of his responsibilites. It wasn't enough for Wallace, he asked him the same question again, rephrasing it ever so slightly. Santorum explained it the same way. I was totally flummoxed why Wallace would push such a trivial issue and then look like a total jerk. It was strange.

Overall I thought Santorum did quite well. Wallace continued to try to trap Santorum, especially with the BC issue, but Santorum did not take the bait. At least that's what I took away from it.

Overall I thought Santorum did quite well.

Let's hope many others came away with the same impressions.

As far as charitable giving, people like Rick. They're chipping away at the nice guy image.

I didn’t think Santorum was terrible, but he doesn’t have Newt’s quick mental reaction to turn crap back upon the crapper. He didn’t look too bad, but he was defensive.

To anyone with a functioning brain, you are correct that the interviewer (the crapper) looked horrible! Cheap shots pushed over and over—makes you wonder what the crapper was looking for.

Maybe he got what he wanted. Santorum made one little, bitty mistake IMO and it is one that shouldn’t matter. However given the pettiness of today’s “news” shows it probably will.

Santorum first explained that the care of his special needs daughter is expensive—that was fine; but then he came back at least twice as Wallace kept pushing the crap and talked about his many children and that his daughter was an expense.

We all know what he meant, but I expect to see a replay of the exact words from Wallace sometime in the near future as he tries to make it look like Santorum regards his little daughter as “an expense”.

This is the level these turds have sunk to IMO. Just plain scum! I’d love to be wrong.
