If you've had the displeasure of searching Rick Santorum's name on Google, you know about his so-called "Google problem." It's a sticky situation that has dogged Santorum since 2003.
It started when he answered a question about gay marriage in an interview with the Associated Press. Sex columnist Dan Savage, who is gay, took offense and started a contest to redefine "Santorum." The winning definition was gross and it remains the top Google search result for the candidate's last name.
In an interview with the Huffington Post his eldest child, 20-year-old Elizabeth, commented on the issue.
"That just makes me sad. It's disappointing that people can be that mean," she said. "That's really the first thing that comes to mind, it's hurtful. But it's okay, we just try and focus."
