Rick Santorum and Sarah Palin

This was confirmed to me at The Four Season’s bar here in Washington, by a cousin of Santorum’s. ”Oh, yes, he’s running,” she said. This former senator is currently practicing law at Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, LLC in Pennsylvania and is father to no fewer than seven children. (Now, that would make for a full White House…)
Santorum is a devout Catholic and is known for his rather over-enthusiastic (in my view) and borderline belligerent stances against abortion and homosexuality. To say that he is a social conservative’s dream is an understatement. In fact, Santorum’s comments and statements over the years on gay marriage and a woman’s right to choose make me personally uncomfortable, but that’s another blog.
Remember, these are posts about who I believe is running for president in 2012 and who is not, and they’re based on what I’ve read and/or what has been imparted to me by a trusted inside source or two. I reserve the right to change my mind and correct my predictions, but I’m trying to get it right the first time.
