Santorum declares; "America has Suffered Enough"
Edited on Fri Nov-17-06 09:41 AM by maxrandb
Either that, or Ricky has a keen eye for the obvious.

Hopefully, this guy will never, ever, ever, have the term "elected official" after his name.

Santorum: No oval office run

Don't expect to see Sen. Rick Santorum's name on the 2008 presidential ballot.

"Absolutely, positively not. Absolutely not," Santorum said yesterday on The Michael Smerconish Show on WPHT-AM (1210). "My wife would throw me out of the house if I do anything in '08."

Even though he lost his Senate seat last week by 18 points to Democrat Bob Casey Jr., some supporters hoped he would still fill the social conservative niche on the Republican ticket.

William J. Bennett, the former U.S. secretary of education and national drug czar, had predicted a "draft Rick Santorum" movement, citing a lack of conservatism on the part of the current GOP front-runners, Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

------------------------------------------------------------
I hope Billy "Double-Down" Bennett is right. Please let there be a "draft Santorum" movement.

6. That's why Harris lost her Senate bid!
God really intended for her to be President. She just misunderstood him.

5. I am glad Rick & Allen went down
We still do not know what is going to happen in '08. We could end up with another republican president, but at least it will not be someone like Rick. He would bring more of the same that Bush brought. I believe the far, far, far right era is ending. We will see more moderates in the republican party of the future that realizes that neo-cons are not going to bring them back to power.

7. Some Fundies Want Santorum for the Supreme Court
If that were to ever happen, I would finally be free to move out of the country.

9. I bet his wife will throw him out of the house anyway ...
for something other than running in 08 ... probably running after tail ...

As it is, keep this article bookmarked ... if the Repukes hold Pelosi to her blindsided pledge, then Santorum should be held to this ...
