My favorite line of the interview below comes when Santorum is explaining why we need a real conservative in the race:
My point is that the idea that we need to elect a moderate in order to get moderate votes is simply a fallacy. John McCain would be president; Bob Dole would have been president. We need to elect someone who is a principled conservative that can motivate conservatives and Republicans…In many cases moderate voters tend to vote for the person, the person who they believe has the qualities and characteristics of the leader that can govern this country and bring America together. And I think on that score, we score very very highly and I think even the polls are now suggesting that on that front we present the best opportunity for us got get those voters.
