Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum might have gotten a boost in the polls Thursday morning just by appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" — at least, according to Rev. Al Sharpton. During the interview Santorum was challenged by Sharpton, who hosts another talk show on MSNBC, on how he would handle a crisis better than President Obama.
Sharpton, a Democrat and long-time champion of liberal causes, joked that their on-air debate would actually lead to an increase in Santorum's support and momentum in Iowa.
"I can argue with you about some of your ugly statements on the president and all of that, but that would probably help you in the primarily if you and I got in an argument this morning," said Sharpton before asking his question.
"Go head, Al. Give it to me, Al," responded Santorum, laughing.
"Well, you said some despicable and ugly things, but we'll do that on 'Politics Nation' one night, don't let me help you win the caucus," added Sharpton, referring to his own TV show.

Was newt there to back up sharpton?
Resist we much.
He should have said...Ugly Things? You mean like threatening to cut off Obamas B****? Opps that was your friend Jesse Jackson....
He should have asked how does he call himself a Christian pastor but he believes in murdering children in the womb. Why he was at it he could have also asked him what semimary or Bible college he went to that made him a “reverend”.
Huh?
How about the ugly things that Sharpton said that got people killed at Freddie’s Fashion Mart and Crown Heights?
I do not think it would help Santorum. Generally, people change the channel when they hear Al Sharpton’s voice. So not many people would even hear the discussion. I know I would not have listened.
Excellent point. I also remember when he was one of the 9 dwarfs in the 2004 Presidential election
Sorry Al. Your “show” couldn’t help Santorum, or hurt him or have any effect on him. Sharpton’s “show” is akin to that of the tree falling in the woods. No one’s there so we’ll never know.
I like Santorum, and have always liked him. I don’t know yet though if I will vote for him or not
Huh?
Sharpton said Santorum said despicable and ugly things about Obama. He did not say however that they were not true!
Hey Al. You wanna hear nasty things about that assclown Obama give me a shot on your show.
I feel the same about Santorum. I would vote for him here in Pennsylvania.
That’s what I said
That’s what I said
Santorum is the most conservative of the bunch. That’s why he isn’t getting any play.
Only reason he is getting play now is to elevate Ron Paul after the adult vote is split 4 ways.
How funny! LOL! :)
The only problem with Santorum in Pa. is that he backed RINO Specter over Toomey. That hurt him a lot. Otherwise what is there not to like about him. He even looks & acts like a real president.
