Cash-strapped Rick Santorum campaign reshuffles staff
Politico ^ | 8/4/15 | Katie Glueck

Several top staffers have left Rick Santorum’s campaign to create a new super PAC, a move spurred by the cash-strapped candidate’s anemic fundraising.

Campaign manager Terry Allen, Iowa state coordinator Jon Jones and digital strategist Steve Hilliard — Allen’s son-in-law — departed several weeks ago, leaving the winner of the 2012 Iowa caucuses without a campaign manager and raising questions about whether Santorum can last until Iowa votes on Feb. 1 next year...

The former Pennsylvania senator had among the worst fundraising hauls of the entire presidential field, raising only about $600,000 and spending about 60 percent of that in his first fundraising quarter as a presidential candidate...

Rick Santorum speaks, and all the reindeer on his sweater nod their heads in assent.

He should continue as a senator for Pennsylvania.

Of course Jeb’s men will prop him up.

Does Santorum have a real job besides running for President every
4 years.

If he is so poplar, why doesn’t he run for Public office in PA.

Maybe he should sell some Etch-A-Sketches with Donald’s line drawn image on them. “Just shake it up, you get a different Donald Trump. Which one is the real one?!!” You can buy one for the kids with a $19.99 tax deductible contribution.
He should also consider SnowGlobes for the same reasons.

Santorum is great on social issues, such as marriage, abortion. But he is nuts for big government and compassionate conservatism. He endorsed a higher minimum wage, striving for blue-collar votes. He’s lost his mojo that got him second in the primaries the last time around.

Santorum had his moment in the sun. But then he lost his job as senator. If the people of his own state wouldn’t re-elect him, how is he supposed to win over the voters in the other states? Santorum needs to get a clue and go away.
