"...The event, inside the predominantly black Greater Exodus Baptist Church, is aimed mainly at winning support for Bush's Supreme Court pick, Samuel Alito. But locals will probably pay more attention to an appearance by Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, walking a political tightrope between fundamentalist supporters and the moderate voters he'll need to win re-election in November.

...

Virginia Davis, the spokeswoman for Santorum's campaign, said she did not have advance information on what the senator would say during his appearance.

But that didn't stop a spokesman for his chief Democratic rival, state Treasurer Bob Casey Jr., from blasting his appearance.
"It's no surprise that Rick Santorum is spending time with Jerry Falwell, since they have both made a career of supporting divisive ideology rather than common sense solutions," Casey campaign spokesman Larry Smar said. "After all, Falwell has said that he would vote for Santorum for president."

The Casey campaign isn't the only critic of the event. A coalition of progressive groups, including AIDS activists from ACT UP Philadelphia, is planning to protest outside the church."
