Never say never

Eighteen months ago--right about the time that Pat Toomey lost his bid for the US Senate--no one ever would have convinced me that I'd be supporting Rick Santorum for his reelection to the Senate. No one ever would have convinced me that I'd support George Bush, either, but I did. I did it because he was the best candidate running. Rick Santorum is the same way. Rick is very very very far away from perfect, but he is much much much better than Bobby Casey. So Rick gets my vote.

Over the next 12 months, I am certain that Rick Santorum will do things that make me want to throttle him. I won't like it, but I will continue to support him. I know people reading this blog will label me both a right-wing nutcake and a sell-out, and that's fine. On November 7, 2006, I will punch my card for Rick Santorum, and I'm going to feel good about it. Hopefully over the next year, I can convince Santorumblog readers to do the same thing.
