My "prayers" have been answered:

Rick Santorum is running for president again — and says this time
will be different

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is running for president again,
but with a retooled message and hopes of appealing beyond his socially
conservative base. (Eric Gay/AP)
By Karen Tumulty December 9

Rick Santorum won primaries and caucuses in 11 states in 2012,
coming in
a respectable second in the GOP presidential primary season. And
Republicans have a history of bestowing their nomination on the
next guy
in line, usually an also-ran from the last contest.

Yet the former senator from Pennsylvania is rarely mentioned in the
already feverish pre-game 2016 chatter among the political
commentariat
and the donor class.

That’s just the way he likes it. Or so he says.

“America loves an underdog. We’re definitely the underdog in this
race,”
he said in an interview Tuesday. Santorum added that being
underestimated
— again — “has given me a lot of latitude.”

His iconic sweater vests will likely make a return appearance. But
Santorum 2.0 will be a very different presidential campaign than
the one
that came from almost nowhere to win the Iowa caucuses in an
overtime decision, he vows.

“I get the game,” Santorum said.

You forgot the liars and nut cases from the left side.



There is an increasing movement to convince Elizabeth Warren to run.
Wouldn't it be a hoot if she received the Democratic nomination and Ted
Cruz received the Republican? Two diametrically opposed screwballs
running for POTUS.


And the way things have been going in this country the last 30 years
or so,
is not out of the realm of possibilities. Scary. Sad.


Warren will stay in the Senate. If I prayed, I would pray for Cruz to
get the GOP nod.



The Dems will never nominate Warren for similar reasons that the
Republicans will never nominate Cruz. Both are way too far from center.
