Anti-poverty senator
"Every poll suggests that Rick Santorum will lose his race to return to the U.S. Senate. That's probably good news in Pennsylvania's bobo suburbs, where folks regard Santorum as an ideological misfit and a social blight. But it's certainly bad for poor people around the world," New York Times columnist David Brooks writes.
"For there has been at least one constant in Washington over the past 12 years: Almost every time a serious piece of anti-poverty legislation surfaces in Congress, Rick Santorum is there playing a leadership role," Mr. Brooks said, citing numerous initiatives, including welfare-reform legislation and the global fight against AIDS.
"I could fill this column, if not this entire page, with a list of ideas, proposals and laws Santorum has poured out over the past dozen years," Mr. Brooks said.
