David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network asked Rick Santorum whether he would still be willing to Mitt Romney’s running mate, if it were offered even after the negative campaign of the past few months: “If for some reason — and you might laugh this off — if he for some reason asks you to be the Vice Presidential candidate on his ticket? I know, after all is said and done. Would you consider it?”
“Of course. I mean, look, I would do in this race — as I always say, this is the most important race in our country’s history,” Santorum replied. “And so I’m going to do everything I can. I mean, I’m doing everything I can. I’m out there. In the last 10 months, I’ve had five days off, two for Thanksgiving, and three for Christmas. I’ve been working every single day. My wife and my kids, we’re just busting our tail, because we know their future and all of our children’s future is at stake in this election and I don’t want to be the guy who has to sit with my granddaughter, 20 years from now, and tell stories about an America where people once were free. I don’t want to have that conversation.”
