Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Pennsylvania Senate Race

RealClearPolitics Election Analysis

At the age of 36, Rick Santorum rode the 1994 GOP surge to a 2-pt win over Harris Wofford, 49 - 47. In 2000, his outspoken social conservatism in the traditionally more moderate Northeast made him a prime target for Democrats, but unlike many other Class of '94 conservatives (Spencer Abraham, Rod Grams and John Ashcroft) Santorum defied the skeptics and won reelection with 52% of the vote.

This November it looks like the Democrats may be poised to accomplish what they couldn't get done six years ago.
