No Rick, we don't need you. Tell that to Mitt and Huck too.

Hunter/DeMint/Pence/Palin will do.

[NoobRep]

NO thanks. Santorum lined up behind the RINO Specter. I’ll pass.

[STONEWALLS]

....don’t think he’s got much of a chance.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Too socially conservative for me. I want a fiscal conservative-libertarian and strong on national defense and the borders. Plus the fact he endorsed Specter pretty much killed his career.

[pointsal]

There is a house for rent ....call the guy in Conn. for directions..... Maybe he can give Rick a lead on a good Countrywide lender for Iowa....

[Ann Archy]

Rick....STOP DYING YOUR HAIR LIKE ELVIS!

[HereInTheHeartland]

I'm waiting for Sarah.
Looking back, she did a really smart thing resigning. She is free to sharpen herself on the speaking circuit now.

Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign will no doubt get about as far as Jim Gilmore’s.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Will he bring in his Socialist buddies Specter and Slick Willard to stump for him ?

[9YearLurker]

Let’s just hope we have candidates to split the RINO vote—instead of candidates to split the conservative vote. That’s the name of the game in the primaries.

[Lancey Howard]

Awesome!
Santorum is hated by the socialists.

Go Rick GO!

[Brilliant]

I disagree. Santorum has been a reliable supporter of conservative issues, even if Specter was not. After watching Sanford self-destruct, and Palin, I would say we need all the help we can get. Hunter has no chance. DeMint and Pence, maybe, but they will or will not throw their hats in, and they may or may not be able to get anywhere. Right now, it’s Romney’s to lose. Santorum is welcome to give him a run for his money.

[jdsteel]

Santorum is NOT a RINO. Not even close. His support for Schfincter in the primaries was inevitable as a Jr. Senator with W. in the White House. You will not find anyone more passionate about the radical Islamic threat we still face. He got screwed in the last election but he isn’t finished in politics. Actually, Palin/Santorum is my dream ticket.

[Nextrush]

Arlen Specter was endorsed in 1996 by Santorum for President when Arlen went to Iowa himself.

Then Santorum endorsed Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey in 2004 during the US Senate.

But later that year Santorum who is a darling of National Right To Life, a GOP establishment group, went to Alaska.

His mission was to twist the arms of Alaska Right To Life so they would support “pro-choice” Lisa Murkowski for US Senate.

Santorum pushed for them to endorse Murkowski over pro-life Mike Miller. Miller was supported by the then mayor of Wasilla, Sarah Palin.

They must be putting Santorum in to try to pry votes away from Palin on behalf of Willard M. Romney.

That’s how desperate the GOP Washington Beltway Establishment is.

Saw him on TV in the last 24 hours. Came off very limp.
