Gloria Feldt Author of "No Excuses" and former Planned Parenthood CEO :
Right-wing candidates who complain about how the media treats them are like the child who kills his parents and then asks for mercy because he's an orphan. The right has created the current toxic media environment, so their whines don't generate much sympathy.
In any case, both Santorum and Romney have done a pretty good job of twisting their own words up.
Palin is right in advising Santorum not to retreat though. Voters appreciate authenticity. And I hope he continues to say outrageous things he authentically believes, such as claiming that contraception is against the natural order of " how things should be ." That's twisted enough to make many women voters run the other way.
