Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has set up a testing the waters account in anticipation of a possible 2016 presidential bid, CBS News has learned.
The account allows Santorum, a Republican who ran for president in 2012, to raise and spend money under the same caps governing an actual campaign committee ($2,700 for individual donors, and $5,000 for couples.) Unlike a campaign committee, though, a testing the waters account does not have to disclose its finances.
"He just formed the testing the waters account this week," Santorum adviser Matt Beynon told CBS News. "His timeframe for making a formal decision on a bid is still what it was - by late spring, he'll make an announcement."
Beynon said Santorum has been "very encouraged by the support that he's received from folks all across the country."
"The message he's been talking about for the last few years is resonating," he said. "That encouragement led him in the direction of taking some more formal steps."

Save your money, Rick.
Water is too cold, Rick.
Stay away.
Santorum and Huckabee gets their marching orders from RINOe HQ.
Mission: siphon off money and support from Catholics and Evangelicals, so Bush can win.
Go away Santorum.
Rick, Governor Moonbeam on line 2...he wants your water.
He has to be delusional.
No Rick...you’ve had multiple attempts with no success. If you can’t carry your home state as a senator, then you can’t carry the U.S. as a candidate.
Rick Santorum needs to stay out. He will get the reputation of being the conservative Ralph Nader. He doesn’t have a chance but is running for his ego.
Ted Cruz will handle it from here on.
Yeah, that seems a good assessment to me. Neither one has a chance of ever being President, but they continue to jump in and spoil the race for real conservatives.
What really infuriates me is that there are so many conservatives who are gullible enough to fall for the scam.
No way Rick. You just don’t have what it takes.
I wish these so-called “good” guys would back off and leave it to Cruz, West, or Carly Fiorina. If they have any value, then maybe they could get cabinet posts. But it seams that a bunch of “establishment” type candidates are flooding the field.
No Retreads.
Where’s the “Not this sh*t again.” picture?
That should be mandatory for anything pertaining to Santorum and Presidential politics.
o yeah I feel a tingle no wait I stuck my toe in a wall socket

What does Santorum have to offer in 2016 that he didn’t in 2012 when he didn’t even get close?
JUST SAY NO ... Santuckabee/Huckatorum
He was #2 in total R primary votes in 2012.
And the #1 guy isn’t running this time.
So I can see his logic, if not his path to winning.
