Santorum fundraising email cites RomneyCare

Rick Santorum was the first out of the gate today in aggressively attacking Mitt Romney on health care. I was wondering who would be the first. Up until recently, I suspected it would be Pawlenty. He's probably saving it for the New Hampshire debate.

From Politico:
There’s zero daylight between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama when it comes to health care — if you ask Rick Santorum.

In a fundraising pitch emailed to supporters Tuesday, Santorum highlighted a recent Wall Street Journal editorial that harshly called Romney "Obama's Running Mate."

Santorum might want to read that little article that Doug just posted on Chat. Most folks don't give a hoot about Romney passing health care in Mass.
Yet, a majority of respondents (53 percent) said that Romney's involvement in helping to pass Massachusetts' universal health care law would not affect their decision to vote for him. Among those who identified as Undeclared/ Independent (roughly 40 percent of all likely GOP Primary voters), some 20 percent said Romney's involvement in passing Massachusetts' health care bill would actually make them more likely to vote for him, and similarly 50 percent said it made no difference.
