[steelmania75]

From Politico:

Add former Sen. Rick Santorum to the list of potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates.

POLITICO has learned Santorum will visit first-in-the-nation Iowa this fall for a series of appearances before the sort of conservative activists who dominate the state GOP’s key presidential caucuses.

The Pennsylvanian, who lost his 2006 re-election bid, will visit Iowa on October 1st, appearing on a Des Moines radio talk show and speaking to a luncheon and workshop of Iowa’s Right to Life group before heading east to Dubuque, where he’ll headline a fundraiser for the conservative America’s Future Fund PAC and then speak about the future of the GOP to a public audience in the Mississippi River city.

“Your voice becomes more amplified when you go to a place like Iowa or New Hampshire,” Santorum explained in an interview Tuesday about the visit.

Like other potential White House aspirants, he insisted it was too early to consider a presidential run. But he acknowledged that he was interested in taking a higher profile in the party.

I can see it now, Santorum/Palin 2012.

They would be crushed by Obama. Obama would win PA by 20 points with that neo-con as the GOP nominee.

3. A Santorum memory...

Once when he was my Senator I called up his office to express my opinion on some issue. My opinion, of course, was somewhat liberal. The staffer that answered the phone said, "Let me connect you with someone who can help you" -- and connected me to Sen. Ted Kennedy's office.

In other words: after he's elected, Santorum does not serve his constituents, but only those constituents who share his narrow views.

4. For that matter, I'll recycle this as a Ted Kennedy memory.

Senator Kennedy, you did not aim at protecting your class wealth, you did the best you could to make life better for the less fortunate, you were eloquent in arguing your cause, you didn't give up, and you kept your dignity all the way to the end.
