Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, a potential 2012 primary foe, is indulging in “class-warfare” rhetoric. . . . “I’m not a class-warfare guy,” Santorum tells National Review Online in reaction to Pawlenty’s remarks. “That’s the Democrats’ gig.

It Isn’t So Much Lindsey Graham’s Sexuality As His Political Views That Disappoint
