Rick Santorum's Meet the Press interview
David Gregory
January 1, 2012
David Gregory decided to interview Rick Santorum after jumped in the polls in Iowa. Santorum has spent more time in Iowa than any other candidate, visiting all 99 counties in a pick up truck due to limited money and staff. Not too long ago Santorum was at 5% and people were wondering when he would drop out. Gregory asks Santorum why no one has endorsed him yet, even though he's been serving Washington D.C. for 20 years. Santorum answers this question by saying that he didn't ask anyone to endorse him because he had really low percentages up until recently. He isn't doing this to get endorsements, he wants to change what's going on in D.C. Gregory started talking about Santorum's new ad saying that he's "rock solid on values issues," which lately Santorum has been accusing Romney of not doing. Santorum has been saying that Romney is a liberal Massachusetts moderate, when only four years ago he was saying something completely different. Santorum supported Romney in the Republican primaries in 2008, he even said that "Romney would always stand up for conservative issues and principles." Gregory asked Santorum what has changed, and Santorum said that he only said this when comparing Romney to McCain. It seems as if Gregory was trying to catch Santorum slip up or find something bad about him by throwing these difficult questions at him, but Santorum held his post and had very good responses.
