I agree, a senate loss in a swing state like Pennsylvania can mean votes in the presidential primaries. “I think Rick Santorum is fully prepared to lose to Bob Casey and he wants to do it before a national audience carrying the torch of the brand of conservatism that will nominate the next GOP candidate for president.” — This was writen by Larry Ceisler, Philly Daily New in July.

Forget 2008, he'll be lucky to make it in 2006. He’s also trailing in his senate reelection bid by about 14 points. Forget 2008, he’ll be lucky to make it in 2006.

Santorum than either liberty or order, his doubts about introducing "intelligent design" in classrooms are not so strange. "Intelligent design" and evolutionary theory are not equally developed, and therefore should not be given equal attention, in his view. Also one must consider his religious affliation. Santorum is a Roman Catholic; in the _Pastoral Constitution of the Church in teh Modern World: Gaudium et spes_ it says the following in section 36.1: "if methodical investigation within every branch of learning is carried out in a genuinely scientific manner and in accord with moral norms, it never truly conflicts with faith, for earthly matters and the concerns of faith derive from the same God. Indeed whoever labors to penetrate the secrets of reality with a humble and steady mind, even though he is unaware of the fact, is nevertheless being led by the hand of God, who holds all things in existence, and gives them their identity. Consequently, we cannot but deplore certain habits of mind, which are sometimes found too among Christians, which do not sufficiently attend to the rightful independence of science and which, from the arguments and controversies they spark, lead many minds to conclude that faith and science are mutually opposed." I thought about putting in a link, but the URL is a bit cumbersome. If you Google "Gaudium et spes" (in quotes) it'll be the first hit. Having read especially the last point in _Gaudium et spes_ ("we cannot but deplore...") it seems clear that in his religious conviction, Sen. Santorum does not see evolutionary theory in contradiction with his faith. Moreover it is not necessary to introduce a less-developed idea that suggests otherwise.
