WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former Sen. Rick Santorum is taking the next step toward a presidential bid.

Santorum on Tuesday said he had established a presidential exploratory committee and would participate in Thursday's debate in South Carolina, an early presidential nominating state.

My former Senator. Goodness he lost to a last name. That is not good. If it was 2002 or something he would be outstanding. I don’t think he has a chance. However a POSSIBLE VP for Sarah might not be too bad.

Santorum = Closet queen.

Santorum and Pawlenty....the dynamism is overwhelming.

I can’t forget the derogatory statement Santorum said about Sarah Palin. He will not get my vote.

If you have to “explore”, then don’t bother.

Either you are a leader, or you are not. Santorum is not.

If you want to be president, then run. Sticking your toe in the water isn’t very impressive, and it is the behavior of those who don’t have a chance, i.e. Romney.

That excites me about as much as what hildebeast wore today.

Isn’t it great that the Republican party has such a large tent that even losers get to run for president.

[Rational Thought]

Doubtful. Losing your home state by 19% and lacking name recognition don’t add up as a positive addition to any ticket I can think of.

Santorum should either declare he is running or not.
I don’t think he has a chance.

They do help the economy with the money that they spend.

Strange things can happen in politics. Let's not forget that a defeated one-term governor from Georgia defeated a seated President.

On Palin:

SANTORUM: And I -- you know, and I'm not the mother to all these kids and I don't have other responsibilities like she has and other opportunities that she has to -- for, like I said, other business opportunities that may be in conflict with what she was asked to do.

We already have a misogynist in the White House, we don't need another. He also supported (eventual turncoat) Arlen Spector over a serious Republican challenger.

Santorum should STAY OUT of the race. Just go away.
