FRIDAY'S GUESTS:
Byron York of National Review (Fridays With Byron).
Sen. Rick Santorum of the Ethics and Public Policy Center.
Rick Santorum
Senior Fellow
Rick Santorum, a Senior Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, established and directs EPPC's Program to Protect America's Freedom. He is writing a book on the "gathering storm" of the 21st century -- the challenges posed by radical Islamic fascism and its growing alliances around the world.
Mr. Santorum served as United States Senator from Pennsylvania from 1995 to 2007 and as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1991 to 1995. As a United States Senator, he was a champion of efforts to counter the threat of radical Islam, to protect victims of religious persecution, and to promote democracy and religious liberty around the world. He founded the Congressional Working Group on Religious Freedom and spearheaded the passage of several key pieces of legislation, including the landmark welfare reform bill, the American Community Renewal Act, a ban on partial-birth abortion, the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, the Combating Autism Act, the Farmland Preservation Act, the Abandoned Mine Lands Reform Act, the Multi-Employer Pension Reform Act, the Global Aids Authorization Act, Health Savings Accounts, the Syria Accountability Act, and the Iran Freedom Support Act. From 2001 to 2007, he served as Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, where he directed the communications operations of Senate Republicans and was the third-ranking member of the Republican leadership.
Mr. Santorum is the author of It Takes a Family: Conservatism and the Common Good (ISI 2005).
Mr. Santorum received his undergraduate degree from Penn State University, his M.B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh, and his J.D. from the Dickinson School of Law. He and his wife Karen are the parents of six children.

My guess is that he'll endorse Mitt Romney.
If Mitt picks Santorum up as his VP candidate, then I will support liberal Mitt Romney.
That is the only reason, though.
Perhaps he will announce he is running? haha.. And his VP is FDT
$20 says that he does not endorse McCain.
Highly doubtful. In 8 years though, I would say you might be right.
I would not take that bet. :>)
A Major announcement?........
That’s what the show said.
Long, strange trip for Rick, ever since he endorsed Specter over Toomey in that Senate primary. McCain has campaigned for Santorum in the past, but now Rick's turned around and attacked Mac. Now maybe endorsing liberal Romney?
Too bad, all around.
Romney needs a big boost because the poll numbers I’ve seen for Tuesday really favor McCain right now.
I don't give a rat's rear end who Santorum decides to endorse.
He should be our candidate.
Rick Santorum is yesterdays news.
He’s a loser.
what time (eastern) is that show?
Yep, it said it, right there in black and white! “A Major announcement!”............
LOL We can only hope!
I very much respect Rick Santorum as a consistent conservative.
I would support him for president long before I’d support Mitt Romney.
But, if he endorses Romney, hopefully he’ll give some decent reasons.
Will it be in Italian????
I hope you’re right. I’m voting for Mitt and would love to see a solidly pro-life conservative on the ticket with him! I take Mitt’s pro life conversion at face value...he says he’s pro life now and I believe him.
Fugeddaboutit!..............
huh? What does that mean?
Over at The Corner K-Lo is saying Romney will get endorsements today- one from the Denver Post...
LOL! I hope others get that joke...:-)
ABsolutely.
I got to listen to him (and meet) about 2 months ago.
He is an outstanding speaker WITH a vision that would put us on the right side of God and of history.
I do wish he were the nominee.
Senator (Specter) Wants N.F.L. Spying Case Explained
Snort.
Oh, way to go, Rick!
I like Santorum, but even that wouldn’t make me pull the lever for Mitt. I will not vote for the guy who mandated every single person in his state MUST buy health insurance or be fined.
How “conservatives” claim this is their guy is beyond me, this bill alone took away personal liberty of every person in his state.... You now risk being fined, simply for being alive in MA. And this is what the “conservatives” claim is their guy?
Is he offering himself up for VP to Romney?
Santorum is one of the finest Pro-Lifers out there. Could easily be for Huckabee for that reason.
Meanwhile....
I recommend for consideration Jim Robinson’s post here:
Seven good reasons to support Mike Huckabee [be sure to read reason number seven]

Do you have to join to listen?
You don’t recall Santorum endorsing Specter?
The Elephant in the Room: Reducing U.S. oil appetite -- by Rick Santorum
Across Pennsylvania, farmers are also digging and planting corn and other crops that will be turned into ethanol that can replace gasoline in our cars. Most cars in America can't run on ethanol, however, so who is going to install ethanol pumps at the gas station without the cars to run on it? At this point I would say to all of my hard-core conservative friends: Hold on to your hats.What we need is a government mandate! We need to mandate that all cars sold in the United States, starting with the 2010 model year, be "flex-fuel vehicles" - that is, they should be able to run on a blend that is 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline (the so-called E85 blend), or even a coal-derived methanol/gas mixture....
Finally, Congress should immediately repeal the protectionist $26 per barrel tax on imported ethanol... Ethanol will begin to flow into this country from poor third-world countries that don't have oil or much in the way of terrorists.

I’m listening over the air on WLW Cincy.
Thanks,I am going to try now.
9am to noon, I believe. Unfortunately, it plays on delay in my market.
Fragile!
Would you shut up!
I’m trying to make some money here.
: )
He was slamming McAniac pretty good on H&C last night.
I think that is what the McCains have in mind. A RINO needs to talk “red state” in order to buy conservatives.
A sheep clothing for the wolf.
oh ok ... thanks
The really lousy forced choice for all of us/////
Hopefully it’s a Romney endorsement. We shall see.
As a national security issue, I support the mandate.
Other things being equal in a free market, I would not support a mandate.
I would see it as equivalent to requiring passports of US citizens leaving/entering the country. I would see it as the equivalent of requiring ID to vote.
Santorum put party over principle. I’m done with him.
Maybe he’ll be announcing that behind closed doors McCain makes Brittany Spears look like a paragon of stability.
I get it.
There’s a guy down the street from me that has one of those lamps and puts it in his window at Christmastime.
Got it:)
“Fellow Senator...” God, I hope not.
