A female Santorum. Losing your local election doesn’t mean you will SURELY do better on a national stage.

“A female Santorum. Losing your local election doesn’t mean you will SURELY do better on a national stage.”

Good point — but at least Santorum actually won a couple senatorial elections and served 12 years before losing in 2006 — a very difficult year for a conservative in a Blue state.

Carly has never served a day in elected office and her record at HP is not exactly stellar. I really don’t know on what basis she thinks she’s qualified to run for POTUS. It’s clearly angling to be the VP attack dog on Hillary. But there are already elected female Republicans that could fill that role — such as Haley in SC or Martinez in NM. Maybe I’m missing something, but I fail to see what Carly brings to the table.

At least Santorum won two state-wide elections in a large, Dem state before his flame-out.
