My early, early prediction: In a second term you watch this guy Rick Santorum come out of PA into some very important post. He is the future, right now of the Republican party. Why do you think he has made waves, on purpose, in the last few months. National recognition. It is starting.

I agree. Santorum has "it". Not necessarily presidential material, but other Republicans to watch for national recognition: Another possible national namemaker will be Jeb Bush, especially as this War on Terror starts showing even more Victories...Roy Blunt of Missouri is another good Republican to watch, too. I think he's majority whip right now. And JD Hayworth from Arizona: great guy...he's going UP.

"Roy Blunt of Missouri is another good Republican to watch,"

Agreed, 100%. Personally, I have not paid much attention to him but will do so in the future.
