I’m going out and talking about what my accomplishments were in the United States Senate. First and foremost, I have to tell the people of Pennsylvania what I’ve been doing for Pennsylvania. I know the national media doesn’t like to talk about that, but I am the Senator from Pennsylvania and I work very hard for the state, and I’ve been going around the state for the last couple months trying to make sure people know what we’re up to.

That’s why we put out the pamphlet, 50 Things You Don’t Know About Rick Santorum.

We’ve been painted by the national media in a very narrow way. I stand up for the things that I believe in, and I’m not backing down from those, but I don’t think it tells the whole picture and our campaign is about telling the whole picture.

Q: On immigration, many conservatives are upset about the Republican Congress’ conduct, particularly the Senate bill. Is that going to be obstacle for you in pumping up the base and what are you doing about it?

A: It’s not an obstacle for me because I probably share their opinion on immigration. I voted against the Senate bill. I’ve been making that one of the major planks of our campaign. I talk about it all the time

I talk about how my opponent is for amnesty amnesty and how my opponent is for raiding the Social Security trust fund to pay illegals for having worked here illegally. That doesn’t go over particularly well in Pennsylvania.

We’re gonna continue to differentiate us because it blends in with the national security theme. Here’s a guy who talks about the 9/11 Commission and the principal thing the 9/11 Commission suggested was that we need to stop these people from coming here in the first place. And, he wants to give everybody amnesty. He wants to invite more people to come here.

We’re gonna focus on that.

Q: On run-away spending.

A: My opponent has attacked me non-stop that I don’t spend enough on a whole variety of different programs.

I think your going to find that there’s a big difference between us on economics. He’s for a big increase in taxes. He’s for repealing the Bush tax cuts and he’s also for a lot more spending.

Q: As a blogger, I have to ask what blogs you read, and how you stay on top of things online.

A: I read Little Green Footballs, I read Red State. I read Townhall. I read Drudge. Going through the columnists, seeing what they’re reading and what they’re up to is something I probably enjoy more than anything.

Q: How do you see the right side of the blogosphere, and the Townhall audience in particular, being active in this campaign?

A: One of the reasons I like to do all the types of alternative media is because we can drive people to our website and get folks to either volunteer or contribute to our campaign.

And, we need those dollars coming in, I’ve got to tell you. We’re up against, not just my opponent, but the Democratic National Committee, that has twice as much money as the Republican National Committee.
