All jokes aside and maybe this is more relevant to me since I live in PA, but Santorum is a textbook example of a candidate who was told what he was saying and supporting wasn't going to fly and he just stayed the course and got "democratically removed" because of it. That's gotta sting.
I'm sure it did. From what I recall of him he was a hard core right winger with some very archaic positions.
