In a post on her blog Monday called “For Santorum,” conservative blogger Michelle Malkin threw her support behind Rick Santorum as the most conservative candidate left in the race: “And at this point in the game, Rick Santorum represents the most conservative candidate still standing who can articulate both fiscal and social conservative values – and live them.”
Malkin gives a laundry list of issues on which Santorum didn’t go along with the establishment like Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, with TARP being the the first example. She also commended Santorum on not falling into line with Gingrich’s Bain attacks, writing, “Most commendably, he refused to join Gingrich and Perry in indulging in the contemptible Occupier rhetoric against Romney.”
