No, that’s not why he got sent packing.. that’s the reason folks who don’t live in PA like to throw about, because they honestly don’t know what they are talking about. Santorum did what a good soldier does, when asked by his general in that case.. he showed loyalty to the party... Other than a few hard core folks, that didn’t really bother most of the electorate.
Santorum had MANY MANY issues, over his actions over many many years... he got tossed because all the slimy games he had played over the years finally caught up to him.
He also was a fake Pennsylvania resident, living instead in a multimillion dollar home in Great Falls down the street from Newt Gingrich.
I said that's when he exposed himself as a complete fraud.
