Santorum Considers Tossing His Hat In The Ring

Filed in National by on January 17, 2010

Via CNN:

In an e-mail and letter to supporters of his Political Action Committee, America’s Foundation, Santorum writes, “After talking it over with my wife Karen and our kids – I am considering putting my name in for the 2012 presidential race.”

“I’m convinced that conservatives need a candidate who will not only stand up for our views, but who can articulate a conservative vision for our country’s future,” Santorum also writes. “And right now, I just don’t see anyone stepping up to the plate.”

“I have no great burning desire to be president, but I have a burning desire to have a different president of the United States,” said Santorum, who lost his re-election bid in 2006 after two terms in the Senate.

Oh please, please make it so, because I do have a great burning desire to watch this campaign.

    I’d be careful about what you guys are wishing for. The tea bag intelligentsia controls entire TV news operations and has a very well funded system of think tanks and institutes. With only 34% of eligible voters taking part in the process, they don’t have to fool very many people.

    “tea bag intelligentsia”

    Oxymoron, can’t take that seriously.

  8. It will be interesting to see all the GOP candidates try to out-crazy each other in the GOP primary. But, we have to remember, 2012 is a looooong way away.

  9. Bob White says:

    Even with his weekly platform as fill-in host for Bill Bennett, he doesn’t have that serious of a following. So while I think Rick Santorum has some interesting things to say, he does not have a chance in hell of getting the nomination.

    Santorum: a nut who brings home his dead child to pass around among his younger children. Yeah now thats some change we can all believe. Santorum has been working with Dick Army for years. People of Pa, already spoke re: Santorum, No, hell no!
