"Santorum, who lost his re-election bid last month, mocked the idea of engaging dictators and talked at length of the evils of 'radical Islamic fascism.' When it comes to reaching out to Iran to discuss the security of Iraq, Santorum said of Gates, "I think he is in error."

I'm keeping this good man and great Senator in my prayers. I want so much for us to "...see more of Rick coming up to 2008... ;)"

Mornin' Nancee,

Yes, even if Rick Santorum runs and loses in the primary it will be a precursor for the real run in '12 or '16.

You know I have a theory that McPain_in_the_poopa will lose in the primaries, will run as an Independent, and hand it to the RATS by knocking out the GOP candidate.

However, I still say that the primaries debates will show Rick to be a worthwhile candidate for the next time around.
