Rick Santorum Concession Speech - Now A Top Selling Ring Tone

WASHINGTON D.C. – Some have accused Democrats of gloating after the election day win of both the House and Senate and if sales of the hottest new ring tone are any indication, gloating has never been more profitable.

Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who lost to Bob Casey this past Tuesday, made a concession speech, surrounded by his wife and crying children, and now that speech is the number one selling ringtone in the country.

According to Billboard, Santorum’s speech ringtone has outsold all others, a first for a spoken word ringtone. “It’s usually musicians at the top of the list, not conservative Republicans,” said Bill Ferguson, Billboard Ringtone Analyst.

Santorum, whose conservative, religious political positions included his argument that if gay marriage was allowed in this country, making sex with animals legal would be next, lost his bid for reelection in Pennsylvania, but sales of the ringtone of his speech are a national phenomenon.

7. The youngest daughter was crying the whole time.
I saw some coverage of the speech on the news and she was crying the entire time. Politics aside I think she just wanted to see her father succeed in his race.
