A reporter for the Jesus News Network, or whatever, asked Rick Santorum if he'd be willing to serve as Mitt Romney's vice presidential nominee. Santorum's response?

Of course. I mean, look. I would do in this race as I always say, this is the most important race in our country's history. I'm going to do everything I can. I'm doing everything I can. I'm out there. In the last 10 months, I've had five days off. Two for Thanksgiving, and three for Christmas.

I've been working every single day. My wife and my kids, we're just busting our tail, because we know their future and all of our children's future is at stake in this election. And I don't want to be the guy who has to sit with my granddaughter, 20 years from now, and tell stories about an America where people once were free. I don’t want to have that conversation.

So Rick Santorum would be willing to be the bottom for a man he's described as a Massachusetts moderate and Republican-in-name-only who created the template for Obamacare. That's mighty big of him. What a patriot!

UPDATE: Newt Gingrich "wouldn't say no" to the Massachusetts moderate if he was asked to be vice president, either. What big hearts these two have!
