Not too bad, really.

Interesting that he doesn't have much money. If he loses, he can pay for his kids college, if not he'll be in debt up to his ears.

Uh...Santorum is doing excellent with fundraising right now. That's actually been mentioned as one of his best weapons in this race.

[AuH2O]

I meant personally, hence the college thing.

[A18]

Why would he be able to pay for his kids' college if he loses, but not if he wins?

[AuH2O]

The second he's out of office he would have dozens of multimillion dollar contracts faxed to him, to work for lobbying organizations, interest groups, corporations, etc.

And actually he could make a good living on speaking fees alone.

That was a very good article, as NYT usually provides. I like his anti-poverty movements, but I still want him out

[True Democrat]

It was an excellent article.

[Moooooo]

He likes to fight from the extremes and disdains political moderation as wishy-washiness. He respects Democrats like Representative Henry Waxman of California; Senator Russell Feingold of Wisconsin; and the late Senator Paul Wellstone of Minnesota -- determined, passionate liberals. ''They're out there because they really believe this,'' he said. ''This is from their core. They're true believers, God bless them. That's what political discourse is all about. You bring in your moral code, or worldview, and I bring in mine.''
