Santorum actually plans on running -- with HIS terrible poll numbers....

[TheDriver]

The guy can't even poll in double digits despite having Fox News behind him--pathetic!

[truthdivides]

What amazes me is that he thinks he can win by only focusing on social conservatism.

[rp08orbust]

As one of the comments notes, the article completely forgets about Gary Johnson. Welcome to Ron's World 2007, Gary--you thought you could do better?

Edit: They also forgot about the gay guy who has officially announced.

[Rothbardian Girl]

Yeah, it's pretty clear that Santorum isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, but eh, he'll provide some entertainment during the race, I guess.

I think about him in less polite terms: the dumbest candidate.

What can of idiot says McCain doesn't know what torture is (or something like that).

[Agorism]

Well he can go ahead and hurt Bachmann at Iowa straw poll. They seem to be very similar candidates.

[ChaosControl]

Well with Huckabee out, someone has to take the Social Conservative mantle I guess, so Santorum is that guy.

[specsaregood]

Gotta feed the monkey, get others to pay so you can live the highlife.

[trey4sports]

Santorum just looks inept.

He has this thing where he grits his teeth when he talks and he appears stupid and/or mad.

[ValidusCustodiae]

Look at 22-28 seconds in the video. Looks like he learned his poses from the same guy Hitler did.

[Ray]

Who's Santorum? Hmm, I should go google him...

[losinglife]

Who's Santorum? Hmm, I should go google him...

An ex-crap senator from my state. There is a reason we kicked him out, why the hell would he think that he should run for the pres?

[South Park Fan]

The most recent poll to include him (http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2011/images/05/06/rel7b.pdf) showed Santorum with 2% nationally and losing by 14%, which is still better than the 18% margin that he lost his Senate seat by.

[HOLLYWOOD]

Another "Placeholder/Distraction" from the people hearing Ron Paul's messages.

Expect more garbage to "Dilute" the field and time on Camera.

[FSP-Rebel]

Santorum must not have anything else to do these days. I mean, he got his ass handed to him by the dem back in his re-election bid in '06 by an 18 pt margin. Complete loser and worst loss by any GOP incumbent Senator in PA history.

[Koz]

The more neocon votes he can draw the better, we need to split the neocon vote.

[cindy25]

Santorum running to sell books, and get a million dollar job at Fox; not to win

[trey4sports]

We need to fly a blimp over Iowa saying "Google Santorum" :p

[Agorism]

Santorum is an teeth-grinding, angry debater.

He hates the gays and the feminists and wants to let the audience know about it.

[iGGz]

He bothers me

[Ray]

We need to fly a blimp over Iowa saying "Google Santorum" :p

Oh god I lol'd, +rep

[trey4sports]

Santorum is an teeth-grinding, angry debater.

He hates the gays and the feminists and wants to let the audience know about it.

yeah that whole point about "radical feminism" was hilarious

[White Bear Lake]

I say let him run. If he can shave 3 or 4 points of Bachmann or Cain in Iowa, all the better for us.

He has no chance. His stomping in PA shows that. And the GOP is hungry for a fiscal conservative right now.

[Freedom 4 all]

This is good for us. Rick "frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex" Santorum will split the idiot vote away from Romney and Gingrich, while leaving Paul untouched.

[kah13176]

Santorum is an teeth-grinding, angry debater.

He may be tooth-grinding and angry, but don't underestimate him: he may be a master debater.

[HarryBrowneLives]

We need to fly a blimp over Iowa saying "Google Santorum" :p

LMAO!:p

[HarryBrowneLives]

...Maybe it's just me, but he's always got the look onstage that he suffers from MASSIVE hemeroids?

[Agorism]

The more candidates the merrier. Come on in Ricky

I'm sure ull draw votes from someone but I doubt it will be us.

For the record, Santorum will never be a legitimate candidate.

[anaconda]

He seems like some frat boy. I think this guy is an M.D. If that isn't scary.

[anaconda]

but don't underestimate him: he may be a master debater.

A master what bater?

[Koz]

A master what bater?

A Master Bater

[acptulsa]

Jesus was a Fisher of Men. Santorum is a Fisher of Votes.

In other words, a Master Baiter.

[anaconda]

He seems like some frat boy. I think this guy is an M.D. If that isn't scary.

Oops my bad I was confusing Santorum with Bill Frist for some reason. Bill Frist is a medical doctor. Santorum went to law school after earning an MBA. Geez Santorum is 53...looks a lot younger?

[libertybrewcity]

I think Santorum is too Republican for the Republicans.
