Governor Rick “Man On Dog” Santorum? Don’t Make Us Throw Up.
We wish Pittsburgh Live was joking, but…
Santorum eyes gubernatorial bid
The former Pennsylvania GOP senator, trounced in his re-election bid last year by seldom-seen Democrat Bob Casey Jr., apparently has grown weary of beating the drums about the ongoing terrorist threat as a senior fellow with the Washington-based Ethics and Public Policy Center.
The American Spectator reported last week that Santorum is seriously mulling a run for governor in 2010, when the race will be wide open. Term limits will force current Gov. Ed Rendell from seeking a third term.
Said one unnamed political adviser in The Spectator item: “Rick is a politician. He loves the competition and the process of running. He’s getting back in and he’s young enough that a gubernatorial run would set him up for greater opportunities politically down the road.”
Of course, a Santorum gubernatorial bid is dependent on the Virginia resident being agreeable to actually living in Pennsylvania again. When he was a senator, you may recall, he found that idea abhorrent.
Santorum family reacts:
Oops, sorry — that was mean. We meant to post this:
Tip of the hat to DU’s SoCalDem for the photo that never fails to send us into fits of uncontrollable giggling.
