Santorum officially 'testing the waters' - Shane D'Aprile

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/gop-presidential-primary/155975-santorum-launches-presidential-exploratory-committee

Oh joy. Perhaps 'the waters' will tell him what apparently no one that is close to him will: you have zero chance of a nomination much less a victory in a presidential campaign. Outside of his cruel remarks on gays, numerous times, can anyone remember how Rick Santorum has been making a living these last few years? On yeah, running a think tank with basically himself as the only employee and buoyed by his supporters. In other words, the charity or delusionment of his biggest fans has been paying his mortgage for these last few moons. I guess they better sign up for a few more years or tell Ricky to get a job because this just ain't happenin'. His role is going to be to rally arch-social conservatives toward the candidate of his choice, stay off TV with his remarks to them, try to avoid too many awkward questions from his base who aren't aware you can't say things like that anymore, and ride off to speaking engagements with saddlebags full of gold. Just like the American Dream.
