Justin's Political Corner

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (PA) on Saturday urged Republican Party officials to resume their support of Republican Rep. Todd Akin, who is running for Senate in Missouri. “The entire Republican Party should stand up and say, ‘You know what? He’s our candidate, it’s too important for the future of our country not to have a majority of the Senate in this upcoming election,” he told NBC News. “I’m hoping everybody will join in and support the cause.” Santorum explained that Republicans needed to gain a majority in the Senate if they hoped to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care law.
