Mike Lux of OpenLeft reports that Fetus-friend Man-on-Dog Santorum is trying hard to prevent St. John from becoming the GOP nominee.
He's got a fairly loud and authoritative voice, so I can't help but overhear, and he's making call after call after call to tell various people that we've gotta find a way to beat McCain, just would be just awful, and going on and on about how much McCain sucks and that even having Hillary or Obama would be better than having McCain because he would just be horrible for the conservative movement because he just doesn't get the movement and he's always using liberal language to talk about things and how that's a terrible thing.
After a while I got up to go get something from the café cart, and it turns out the guy sitting behind me was Rick Santorum, which makes it all the more fun and all the more interesting. So pretty much the whole trip this guy is working his cell phone, talking to people about how anyone is better than McCain and Giuliani would be better than McCain because then at least he wouldn't betray the conservative movement… yeah, Giuliani is bad on some issues like abortion, but at least he would stand with the conservative movement.
What's interesting here is Santorum's view that Giuliani is more conservative than McCain. This means that for cons like Santorum, the cut-taxes issue is much more important that the social issues. Let's recall that Santorum was the GOP's Senate liaison to the K Street Project, the project that melded lobbyists and the legislative branch, so his objection to McCain makes perfect sense. Tom Delay, Santorum's K Street buddy in the House, also can't stand McCain.
