Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) said he would consider running for president in 2012, citing a changing political environment making President Obama seem more vulnerable.

Santorum at the head of a ticket? I don’t see it. But he’d be a great VP candidate, especially for purposes of advising President Palin about parliamentary methods and tactics.

As a former huge supporter of Rick (check my past postings) I urge him to forget this idea. He’s a good man but he’s got a political tin ear and trusted too many people he never should have.

He is a strong conservative.
He is pro life and he is unafraid.
His speech at CPAC was great.
