RS talks Romneycare, social issues on Leno

Rick Santorum was on Leno last night to explain his email endorsement of Mitt Romney (which Jim O'Toole has more on today).

"We just needed some time. It was a rough and tumble campaign," Santorum says.

Leno is a Massachusetts native and he spends much of the segment asking Santorum about Romneycare. "You wouldn't want the government running the Tonight Show," Santorum says. "I see how it looks with NBC running it," Leno responds.

Leno, a supporter of gay marriage, goes on to argue about gay marriage with the former senator.
