In her first network television interview, Karen Santorum offered a revealing look at her husband.
Rick Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, is a frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination.
Karen Santorum is very much her husband's partner and equal. A lawyer and nurse, she says they talk about policy and strategy, and that she tells him when he slips up.

"When he walks through the door," Karen said, "he is not a senator. He's not a guy running for president. He's a husband and a father. And he immediately shifts gears. He's in the kitchen, making a great meal."

But these days, Rick Santorum is at home - on the campaign trail.
