Rick Santorum served as [[United States]] Senator from [[Pennsylvania]] from January, 1995 through January, 2007. During that time, Santorum was known for his staunchly conservative, and at times bigoted, political views. For instance, he has held that [[Intelligent Design]] ought to be taught along side [[evolution]] in public school classrooms, and his comparison of homosexual love to bestiality. Claims by many on the left that he was out of the mainstream appeared to have been validated in 2006, when [[Bob Casey, Jr.]], the son of a popular former Pennsylvania governor, defeated Santorum by capturing 59% of the popular vote for U.S. Senator. Unfortunately for Santorum, his 2006 reelection bid was one case study of many in which ideologues must come to terms with the fact that the majority of Americans are moderates.
