Former Bush adviser Mark McKinnon says a presidential bid by former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) is a scary prospect.

"Santorum represents, in my view, much of what is wrong the in the
Republican Party. While I disagree with him on some fundamental issues,
I am much more concerned with his lack of character."

And then there is this little known tidbit: "I'm a pretty tolerant guy, but beyond his ideology, some of Santorum's behavior is just a little bizarre. For example, Santorum has six children. In 1996, he had son born prematurely who lived for only two hours. He and wife brought the child home and introduced the dead infant to the rest of their children as 'your brother Gabriel' and slept with the body overnight."
