Reality TV's Duggars endorse Rick Santorum [View all]

Is this considered "religion"? I consider it to be a story about the GOP candidates, and the looneytoons who support them.

By Catalina Camia, USA TODAY

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are featured in TLC's 19 Kids and Counting show.

DES MOINES -- Rick Santorum is getting a boost today from the Duggars, the family featured on the TLC reality show, 19 Kids and Counting.

Jim Bob Duggar, the family patriarch, campaigned with the former Pennsylvania senator today at a pizza parlor in Boone "asking Christians in America to get behind Santorum."

In a news release, Michelle Duggar called Santorum a "pro-life, Christian conservative with the family values and common-sense business perspective" needed for the presidency. She had a miscarriage last month.

Santorum has surged in Iowa in recent days, largely from the support of religious conservatives.
