BWAHAHAHAHAHA: Rick Santorum Mulling A Run For The WHITE HOUSE.

" The news site also reported that Santorum had "asked for prayers" for his 2012 run.

Haha, he'll need more than prayers to win the WH especially if he continues to wear a suit and tie like this:

" Rick Santorum, the socially conservative former Republican senator from Pennsylvania, is mulling a run for the White House in 2012, says a pro-life news Web site.

Speaking to a gathering of Catholic leaders in Orlando, Florida, on Friday night, Santorum said that, as recently as six months ago, when President Barack Obama was riding high in the polls, he wouldn't have contemplated a run -- but the political environment has changed.

"I hate to be calculating, but I see that 2012 is not just throwing somebody out to be eaten, but it's a real opportunity for success," he told the crowd, according to LifeSiteNews.com.

The news site also reported that Santorum had "asked for prayers" for his 2012 run.

As The Hill reported Sunday, Santorum appears to be doing more than just "thinking about" a White House run, as LifeSiteNews reported -- he appears to be taking direct logistical steps towards one. The Philadelphia Bulletin reported last month that Santorum "has reportedly scheduled appearances with political nonprofit groups in Iowa on October 1, potentially signifying consideration of a presidential run."

Iowa's caucuses represent the first test of the primary season, and interest in Iowa by a national politician is often a sign of preparation for a presidential campaign.

Santorum's presence in the Senate -- as one of the legislative body's most socially conservative and fervently pro-life members -- came to an ignominious end in the 2006 mid-term election, when Democrat Bob Casey defeated Santorum with an 18-point margin.

His defeat was mainly due to "his close alliance with unpopular President George W. Bush," the Bulletin reported."
