COLUMBIA, Mo. — Rick Santorum wants to talk about the fact that he’s the real conservative in the presidential race.
But voters here — where Santorum is campaigning hard for the the non-binding caucus Tuesday, taking advantage of the fact that Newt Gingrich isn’t on the ballot — have something else on their minds: the health of his daughter, Bella. Continue Reading
Bella suffers from the rare genetic disorder Trisomy 18 and was suddenly rushed to the hospital last weekend with pneumonia. Santorum returned to the trail once it was clear she was recovering, and Bella was released from the hospital Thursday night.

Casus Bella!
It’s a great picture.
That’s such a great photo!
Using his handicapped child to get out the sympathy vote. Ricky’s keepin’ it classy.
stupid politico. It’s not a “non-binding caucus”, it’s a non-binding PRIMARY. THe caucus a bit later is binding.
“Using his handicapped child to get out the sympathy vote. Ricky’s keepin’ it classy.”
You have any proof of this claim!
Hmm. Where have we seen comments like that before?
I remember, in places like this: Trig Palin has my sympathy:
Once again Sarah uses her favorite prop to get sympathy. I think it's child abuse.
When you sink to adopting the same despicable, sleazy tactics used against Sarah Palin, to attack a conservative candidate for President because you support some other candidate, it's time for you to step back and take a time out.
Because your comment shows not only a lack of class, but a lack of character and a profound lapse of judgement.
And it is so egregious, that I'm betting I can even get Onyx, who loved Sarah Palin and rightly condemned these tactics against her, will in this one case agree with me, and not call me a "concern troll". Let's see if I'm right.
Great picture. So endearing!
That is a beautiful picture.
Beautiful photo of Father and Daughter.
UGLY comment by poster.
Know what? Rick Santorum IS classy ... to show his love for his child ... in public ... even though a lot of people in America are so base and so vulgar that they would mock this sweet little girl for being "different."
And my proof of that is what Sarah Palin's opponents did to her little boy, Trig.
What would you prefer Rick (and Sarah) do ? Hide their children from the public out of shame?
People asking Rick Santorum about his daughter is “using his handicapped child”?
