Political Civility

and the Dignified Debate

Santorum's Temperament

You can't call Santorum hotheaded. You haven't seen him frustrated and explode in expletives. You haven't seen him even snarky or sarcastic levelling pot shots. He has sincere policy differences and views on those social hot button issues. You know lots of people do and think they are worth a national stage for discussion.
President Obama is a dignified intelligent person who doesn't resort to low ball cheap shots either. He has a perspective and views that differ from conservatives obviously. But you know that such a debate between them would be on a level that is not below the belt. It would make the choices stark and clear.
I want to see them debate. Romney is going to embarass his supporters by throwing out facts that are not accurate (because he is a master fabricator.) Gingrich is going to destroy his credibility fast and make that pretty evident. He flatly calls Romney a liar. It will become more obvious as time goes on. Santorum is someone whose honor and integrity and Presidential disposition could sit and debate on a level worth watching. These are both good solid men, fine Americans. You wouldn't be cringing while the world was watching these two guys talk it over.
Santorum is young enough that if he doesn't win he can come back and try again. Romney will lose to Obama if he is the nominee.
