He'll be pretty much unstoppable, now that he's won the all powerful endorsement of Pat Boone:
"I am excited to endorse Rick Santorum for President. I've known Rick for many years and Rick has been a consistent defender of conservatism and the values our great nation was founded upon, Boone said in a statement provided by the Santorum campaign on Sunday.
Comparing the former senator to Ronald Reagan, the 77-year-old singer said Santorum is experienced, honest, and deeply principled.

Santorum was originally supposed be endorsed by an African-American artist, but the record label sent Pat instead, so that it would sell better to a white audience.
Aint that a shame?

The downfall of America started when Pat Boone was allowed to sing "Good Golly Miss Molly" and it charted higher than the Little Richard version.

I'm old enough to remember how his "magnum opus" was touted by religious leaders of all stripes.

(35,701 posts)Actually I know who he is. He was a white singer who tried to sing black music but it didn't quite work so the powers that be had Elvis do it.

Not my kinda music, but he sure as hell was someone's kinda music.
And obviously, he's a wingnut, politically.
