Rick Santorum says he's in for 2016.
Rick Santorum has invited former aides to Washington next week for a "private briefing" on his plans for a possible 2016 presidential bid.
The "Personal Invitation from Senator Santorum," provided to CNN by a Republican who received it, was sent by a Santorum aide to more than two dozen "friends and former colleagues" from past campaigns and his time in the U.S. House and Senate.
"As you probably know, RJS is seriously considering a run for the White House in 2016," Santorum adviser Matt Beynon wrote in the email, using Santorum's initials.
"With the midterms and the new year behind us, he is beginning the final stages of preparation and consideration of another campaign," Beynon wrote.
Santorum, he wrote, "would like to give you a personal update on his plans" at a "private briefing" on Jan. 13 at the offices of the American Continental Group, a lobbying and public affairs office in Washington.
Among the Santorum alumni invited to the session are a number of top lobbyists and political strategists who once worked for the former congressman and senator from Pennsylvania, including former George W. Bush spokesman Tony Fratto and former Republican National Committee finance director Rob Bickhart....

Just shoot me. What a frigging circus.
Great! So we can watch this scumbag tear down conservatives much better than he and then hand it off to another Mittens like the GOPe lapdog he is.
Here is one point I don’t get about American politics.
In Canada, if somebody runs for the leader of a party and does surprisingly well and he wins his seat, he’s considered a force to be reckoned with and will often be given a cabinet position or party whip or something beyond just being an MP.
Last time round, Goober pulled enough supporters away that he ensured a Romney win, but I did not hear anything about a book tour or an appointment or anything that indicated he benefitted from running interference of conservative candidates.
So, why when he knows he cannot win, would he run?
Do they have bribes and hush money in Canada? He was building a mansion on the Florida coast. Does that sound like someone who would quit a seven-figure job to run a Quixotic campaign for an office he must know is out of his reach?
possibly because he’s an egomaniac. Possibly because he’s part of a larger strategy to force another RINO through the conservative dominated primary election. A RINO that, by all rights, should not have a snowball’s chance in hell of surviving the primary elections. Possibly a bit of both.
This coming from a former constituent; supporter and friend-—
Ricky————NO. we are all sick of pantywaist republicans who are only capable of putting up a fight BEFORE the primary.
Huckabee's job, in this cycle, is to drain evangelical votes from Ted Cruz in the early primary states -- Iowa and South Carolina, in particular.
He will be paid handsomely for his efforts by the GOP establishment -- which fears Cruz.
impy, I am posting the link for ya ...

he needs to be exterminated in Iowa or no conservative can unite a coalition.
=exterminate Huckabee
=exterminate Santorum
=exterminate Carson
I can’t believe people still fall for this crap.
Good grief, the “Huckster” first and now this little sweater wearing dip-sh jumps in.
Neither of which is electable. Sigh........Seems these people have delusions of grandeur.
The modern day Harold Stassen...
Lord, help us. Not Santorum again.
Soon it’ll be easier to keep track of who ISN’T running for the GOP nomination.
So the jackals convene, pregnant with anticipation at the evisceration of all that campaign cash out there to be searched out and brought down for the feast.
Ricky don’t lose that sweater
You don’t wanna call nobody else
Send it off to the cleaners for yourself
Ricky don’t lose that sweater
It’s the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home
Drip,...drip,....drip.
Santorum just doesn’t have “it.”
He looks like Jerry Seinfeld when Jerry got the haircut that made him look “eight years old.” (The “Edward Scissorhands” episode.)
When he’s in a debate, he has a look of sheer terror on his face, ALL THE TIME. People don’t want a President who is that scared.
Dilution of the conservative vote will be in full swing.
It shouldn’t be too long before Newt is making noise for 2016, too.

Now, the major problem will be for the GOPelites: Jeb v Christie v Romney?
That could get messy.
