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....

You have got to be kidding me.
Let me guess, he is he hoping for a Santorum/Hucklesbee ticket. 2 RINO losers trying to repeat 2008.
Get ready for the trifecta when Rick Perry joins the fray... He will be complete with his “studious” glasses to show that he is smart. Comes complete with serious looks and eyebrow raises.
Yes I remember seeing that “deer in the headlights” scared pissless look on Santorums face. He also has the odd counterpoint to that look as a whispy smug grin with his nervous laugh.
LOL, that’s about all we’re missing right now.
Santorum is the biggest reason why Newt went down and Mittens won nomination.
Mark my words....Jeb, Christy, Mittens.
Only ONE of them will be running after SC.
DO you recall Mittens dropped out to clear path for McPain?
Newt is a RINO and Santorum got more votes than he did.
Newt’s 1994 Contract with America was absolutely the most brilliant political initiative I have witnessed since I became US citizen in 1970.
Either Newt or Little Ricky would have been better than Romney.
1994 was a long time ago. Since then....
He destroyed his own chances when he attacked Romney from the left on Bain.
Romney needed to be attacked...he was the worst RINO of the 3 finalists.
Not from the left.
Newt’s gambit might have worked, in a democrat primary.
Instead he made a lot of conservatives feel sympathy for Romney, real smart.
Newt would have been 100 times better in debates with Obummer than Romney.
