Santorum Eyeing the White House

The Hill is reporting that former Pennsylvania Senator Rick 'Man-on-Dog' Santorum is thinking about running for President in 2012. Santorum was Sarah Palin before Sarah Palin was Sarah Palin. He's the guy that equated homosexuality to beastiality and pedophilia (I guess he was one of many). I don't think he will actually run. After all, he got beat in Pennsylvania, what makes him think he can win nationwide? However, I do worry that too many birthers, Birchers, and tenthers will enter the race (Palin, Santorum, etc) that they will split the base vote allowing an actually competitive moderate Republican to emerge. Of course, even the moderates are sounding like nut-jobs (case-in-point: Gov. Tim Pawlenty recently said that states should look into nullification via the 10th Amendment, only later to retract that statement). The only other Republican that you could imagine running would be former Mass. Governor Mitt Romney, and a divided base works perfectly for him, wondering if Mr. Santorum is eyeing a veep slot on the ticket.
