Santorum is fishing for fights to further his exposure.

Okay, liberalism, then Hillary, now Kennedy and Kerry --

Could he be more transparent? He's trying to emerge as top nemesis of the left.

1. O he is such a scumtorum n/t

[H2O Man]

2. Exactly.

He's the loud, obnoxious drunk at the social event, who is looking to start a fight. Ignore him, and hopefully he'll pass out soon.

3. I don't think he's winning any populist points

He's playing to one slice of the population - the religio-nutbar demographic.
And he's already got them.

4. My theory is that he's trying to throw the election.

I really believe that he's a man whose "morals" are so tightly wound that he can't tolerate another campaign, and he's trying to sound as crazy as possible so that he will not be reelected, yet still save face.

5. It's all about $$$ with Ricky

and his wife.

He wants to make money off of this book because he knows he won't have that Senate income after 2006. Ricky and his wife are cheap. They don't pay for their kids education and they file lawsuits to collect big bucks.

[H2O Man]

8. It seems we all see him

about the same. I do think that he is looking for consideration in an administration position. Perhaps he suspects there could be a few openings soon, and that the republicans will be looking for a man who is strong on values.

6. Fish flop around too when you get them on dry land.

[Divernan]

7. The coward challenges people he knows will ignore him.

Who was that cartoon character who was always sputtering, "Put up your dukes!"? Maybe Daffy Duck?
