Bob Casey Jr. and the Left in part claims Santorum is a “rubber stamp” of the president. On the war, on whatever. So why is he campaigning against the president’s amnesty plan ? (And why did he write a bill that counter presidential provisions?) And on the war, we’ve heard Santorum time and again. Fact is he understands the war and the nature of the enemy and even in the fight for his political life has refused to play politics with it .

Anyway, when I said last night how unfair a Santorum loss would be this is part of it. While so many Republicans and conservatives adopt a what-have-Republicans-done-for-me-lately/I-don’t-care-if-they-win-or-lose attitude in frustration, we actually will lose a good guy leader who we’d all be better off having there. And what the heck is the advantage of having a senator who has nothing to say in his place? Pennsylvania voters have the choce between leadership or a wasted seat.
