Newt’s congressional constituency was a lot more conservative than Santorum’s. An 83% lifetime ACU rating from a state which is maybe 50% conservative shows a lot more courage than a 90% rating from a congressional district which is probably 90% conservative.

So, by applying your logic, given that Santorum’s constituency would be 50% conservative as president, we can expect him to cave on important conservative issues just like he did as a PA senator.

Nice.

Newt wasn't conservative enough for his district.

By that reckoning, Romney was the most courageous governor ever.
