Ex-Rep. Artur Davis Former congressman (D-Ala.); Partner, SNR Denton law firm
"Santorum has timed his Republican "flavor of the month" moment perfectly."
Joanne Bamberger Political strategist; blogger PunditMom; Author, Mothers of Intention

Jeffrey Taylor Managing partner, U.S. Government Relations Intl., LLC
