Please please I hope this is not true. He needs to go away. We have so many possible conservatives for 2016 who actually accomplished something we don't need Mr. Sweater Vest providing evidence for the MSM to portray the GOP in the worst possible light.

It would help if he moved away from Washington and perhaps back to his home state.

I would go for Cruz or Paul first but if Santorum were the only alternative to the Christie/Bush cabal of the GOP I would definitely vote for him in a hot second.

That said, I hope none who ran last time, run this time.

I voted for him last time. I’d vote for him over Romney, Newt, or Christie. I’d vote for Walker, Paul (Rand, not Ron), or Pence over Santorum.

Oh, no, Rick; please no. Please just find a think tank or a foundation or maybe start a talk show or a line of sweater vests or something but please don’t run for President.

This cycle could be worse than last time, because the presidential slot will be vacated. Can you see thirty contenders up there confusing the dickens out of everyone and taking shots at one another and spending the funds that should be going to the candidate?

Is there any way to avoid this?

We have so many possible conservatives for 2016 who actually accomplished something we don't need Mr. Sweater Vest providing evidence for the MSM to portray the GOP in the worst possible light.

Please enlighten us on who you think these conservatives are. I'm almost going to predict that you thought Romney was a better candidate than Santorum.

And if we're going walk on eggs over what the eneMedia thinks of our candidates, we'll NEVER win, because whoever conservatives pick will ALWAYS be vilified by the MSM. We need to learn to ignore their lies.

I don't think Santorum is the best possible candidate by far, but he was heads higher than most of the last crew.

If Santorum jumps in again, 2016 could end up being a repeat of 2012.

Step 1: Many conservatives with very little chance of winning enter the race.
Step 2: The conservative primary vote is split. The mushy GOPe candidate wins the nomination.
Step 3: The mushy GOPe then loses the general election.

we have stupid politicians who believe their own PR.

The staffers run the show.

Elections no longer matter because the unelected bureacrats are now in charge and empowered to make up rules. (see epa, fcc, faa, etc)

Since he dropped out in 2012, Santorum has been laying the groundwork for another run. His advocacy group provides him a platform to raise money

This is the George Pataki never need a real job, post-political lifestyle model.

By always maybe running for president again, you can set up a permanent campaign that allows you to keep collecting money from "supporters" while you ponder your decision.

It's a way to legally sell your political access and connections to people who want a foot in the door, and establish important tax loopholes that help you keep more of the money they give you.

Do you want to meet with the EPA undersecretary in charge of water permits in Cayahooga County? Rick Santorum or George Pataki can make that happen for you... maybe you would like to make a donation to his political exploratory committee.

If you want to kill the EPA undersecretary in charge of water permits in Cayahooga County, make an appointment with Bob Torricelli.

Santorum, I voted for you -— as a LESSER OF EVILS ONLY. Believe me, even all of your voters DONT WANT YOU. Step off.

There is an element at FR that absolutely trashes Santorum whenever his name is mentioned.......and I find this sickening

Why do you heap such scorn upon him.

Don’t we have enough true & evil adversaries without vilifying this pro life, pro family man

I left FR during the last election because of senseless attacks on Santorum
