"I’m sticking with Gingrich to the end. He’s the only one with the political experience, the longevity, and knowledge of the system to route out, and squash all the Leftist bug larvae infesting the corpse that is what’s left of our government today.

Renew America while we still have some of it.

" That's where I am. I started out wanting an “outsider”, but after thinking about it, the politicians would probably just run rings around them.

I have always preferred to look at a candidate's record vs his rhetoric. Perry and Santorum are going to have to show me a lot more going forward, or Newt it is. No matter where these 2 are in their hearts, I'm thinking Newt is more likely to be able to “git er done”.

Still intend to watch him or them like a hawk. Just don't trust politicians period.

If people want to know a lot more about Santorum, here is a 74 minute, 142MB .mp3 wide ranging audio interview of him by the Quad City Times from Dec. 30th. It starts out with Santorum talking about how he was doing things in Iowa, but includes long stretches of him talking not just about what he did in Congress, but why and how he did it there.

You rarely hear people talking about behind the scenes stuff there in this detail. I was fascinated by it and suspect there are others here who would enjoy it. Santorum did play a significant role in several of the good congressional actions back around Newt's golden age. Those who like Newt in part because of his ability to get things done, but don't know much about Santorum may find this useful in evaluating what Santorum might do, how he'd go about it and whether you believe he'd succeed. By all means use your own judgement. BTW, be warned that the audio quality is serviceable, not perfect. Sometimes it gets pretty soft and once you could hear a train passing outside.

If you like this it appears to be part of a series. They also have audio interviews with Perry (12/21/11), Gingrich (12/19/11), Romney, Bachmann (12/8/11) and Pawlenty (7/25/11). I haven't yet listened to any but Santorum's but will be downloading more to listen to when I find the time.
