I'm a political moderate -- socially liberal, fiscally conservative -- and probably the thing I miss LEAST about living in Pennsylvania is having Santorum "representing" me. He was a constant embarrassment. It's beyond me how such a mild-mannered and moderate state can repeatedly elect someone so extreme, abrasive, and (often) offensive. Then again, it's well documented that he owns a two-bedroom shack in a Pittsburgh suburb and a mansion in a Washington suburb -- so I think it's a stretch to say that the family's "values" are rooted in Pennsylvania.
