Late-night comedians have had a field day with the story of Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney strapping his dog in a crate atop the family station wagon for a 12-hour cross-country drive in 1983.
Now it looks as if rival Republican Rick Santorum is getting in on the action.
Mr. Santorum, in an appearance Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” said the story of Mr. Romney and the family dog “Seamus” was indicative of “character.”
“All I would say is, you know, the issues of character are important in this election, and we need to look at all those issues and make a determination as to whether that’s the kind of person you want to be president of the United States,” the former Pennsylvania senator said.
