We had the opportunity to speak with Senator Santorum personally for an extended period of time, and I was impressed by his passion and frustration on the issue of the media's representation of the war in Iraq. He expressed this in the press conference as well (video). Supporters of our military and improved coverage and insight into the war in Iraq have a committed ally in Senator Santorum. Here is the video from my portion of the press conference (please don't laugh, I had 1 hour of sleep).
