You lost your own state (PA) in a landslide when you ran for re-election.

Two things:

1. Calling someone a minion is demeaning. Santorum's a jerk for saying it.

2. Someone who worked on the Obama campaign told Santorum himself that the Obama campaign was afraid of Santorum. Yeah, that could happen.

I am not sure that is so bad for someone who is volunteering or being paid to work for Obama.

But I am sure Ricky meant it to be derogatory because that is his way.

In that case, it's good that Barack Obama engineered the GOP primary so that Romney got nominated instead.
