I like your guy Perry a helluva a lot more than Rick Santorum. My assessment of Santorum is he's a sanctimonious, inside-the-Beltway jerk. In 2002, Pat Toomey had Arlen Specter beaten in the GOP primary, until Santorum and George Bush carried Specter over the finish line. Specter then showed his true colors 5 years later by switching parties to avoid the next GOP election.

The more people see of Santorum, the more he's disliked. In 2004, he lost his reelection bid by 19 points. 19 points! For an incumbent! That's unheard of. I would much rather see the Governor of Texas get a 2nd look than see Rick Santorum.

[Rational Thought]

As a member of a political party, it's almost impossible not to support the senior Senator (from your own party within your own state. Almost all Republican office holders (including “W”) were actively supporting Specter.

As for the 2006 (not 2004) Senate defeat, almost all Republicans were trounced in PA in that election. Given the unpopularity of “W” and the name recognition that Casey had (being the son of a former King of PA), I don't think any Republican on the planet could have even run close.

One thing about that 2006 campaign, I watched it closely and don't recall Santorum ever vacillating from his Conservative views, unlike other politicians I know.

The MSM needs to get an earful about their coverage of Rick Perry!

Bump!!
