Santorum Fundraising Email: ‘The Big Mo Continues’ | Rick Santorum has just sent around a campaign fundraiser touting the endorsements of anti-gay leaders Bob Vander Plaats and Chuck Hurley. The email subject line read, “Huge Endorsement! The Big Mo Continues,” a reference to George H. W. Bush’s 1980 victory in the Iowa caucuses — which Santorum is hoping to duplicate on Jan. 3. Ironically, the term “mo” is also used as slang “for homo, which is short for homosexual,” a funny coincidence given Santorum’s positions on gay issues and the content of his email.
