Rick Santorum

I have never been a political hound. I mostly think that in general our presidents are at a HUGE disadvantage. It's always going to be their fault no matter which party line you sit on. So, I've never gotten into the finger pointing or harsh political discussions. I couldn't imagine trying to accomplish something as big as health care reform in only four years.

Neil sent me this link: http://www.ricksantorum.com/blog/2011/10/meet-our-daughter-bella. I'm not asking for a stream of comments about Rick Santorum's political views. I am suggesting however that he might be a really great candidate only because of his daughter and the Trisomy 18 diagnosis. Good fodder as we embark on a trip to DC this summer. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/04/10/santorum-cancels-some-events-tuesday-after-daughter-released-from-hospital/?hpt=hp_t3

I guess you could sum it up and say, Rick, you figured out a way to get me to vote based on the fact that I could identify with you as a special needs parent. Let's see how far you can make it this year.
