I’ve always liked Santorum. He is really intelligent and took a lot of heat for his strong comments about the Texas homosexuality case and didn’t back down. He said something about it being a slippery slope that would open the door to polygamy and other types marriage.

It’s been a long time. I think that I had better look that one up if Santorum is going to run for president. It could be important.

Santorum made only one slip in his career, supporting Arlen Spector in an effort to be a good party man and he paid for it. No matter what he did, he couldn’t make it up to the voters. I think that he learned his lesson. - Be true to yourself first.

Santorum's problem is himself. He came off as defensive and angry.

Rather than answer what Obama's flaws are he talked about his ability to defeat Democrat incumbents while ignoring the "elephant in the room" of an 18 point loss ending his U.S. Senate career.

My take away is he knows the talk, possibly cribbed the Declaration/Rights from God/family bits from Alan Keyes but Santorum camp off as a jerk politician who doesn't like to be challenged.

He fumbled all over himself trying to explain the misogynist-sounding passage from a book he wrote, a passage that helped end his senate career. He should've been ready for it. He'll be hammered by it endlessly to drive off women voters.

I don't know what makes him think he could or should be president.
