Perhaps Rick Santorum is demonstrating persistence beyond the call of plausibility, but he says that compelling political logic and high duty converge.

An astute student of American politics can tell you of the many actors who have successfully entered the field of politics. A list of elected officials who were once actors includes Ronald Reagan, Fred Thompson, Al Franken and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
