I think we should be careful about stereotyping or villifying Santorum, who is a good man, at worst

no scandals, no hypocrisy, says what he means, even if it hurts him

I think if he had a homosexual neighbor he would be decent to him or her for years on end, and not pushy

he has a perspective which is no more threatening or bigoted than anyone elses

Spector, I think, was his friend. And that seems to be important to him.
