For those of you throwing stones, I've yet to hear ANYONE offer a reason to vote for Santorum that sounds in anything more than: He's the lesser of the evils.

I'll give you a reason, 3 words: supreme court justices. We need to ensure that we control the U.S. Senate, which will have its say on any judges and justices Pres. Bush may appoint. This means that we'll even have to tolerate RINOs like Olympia Snow and Lincoln Chafee for a while. Santorum is no Snow or Chafee, not by a long shot.

I'll be the 1st to admit that he screwed up royally by backing Specter instead of Toomey; I made to roadie from Indy to Western PA to campaign for Toomey! Nevertheless, Santorum can be counted on to vote for bringing judicial nominations to the floor of the U.S. Senate, and that's why we need to keep his seat in GOP hands.

Ricky will never get a chance to vote on Supreme Court nominees if Arlen holds them in committee. His would be vote for a nominee who dies in committee means nothing.
