Rick Santorum for president? Seriously?
FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
For a conservative Christian, Rick Santorum is rapidly becoming a candidate without a prayer.
In fact, there is so much handwriting, you can hardly see the wall.
Pennsylvania, his home state and the place he said he was counting on to get the second half of his campaign off to a rousing start, is the same Pennsylvania that voted him out of the United States Senate by a margin of 18 points.
Well, guess what? Apparently the feelings of the voters in that state haven't changed much when it comes to Rick Santorum.
Mitt Romney is now surging in the polls in the Keystone State. And Santorum - who once led there by double-digits - is rapidly losing ground.
Santorum is going from serious candidate for president of the United States to the butt of jokes.
CNN political contributor James Carville says Santorum is like "a chicken with his head chopped off. The chicken is dead. The only person that doesn't know it is the chicken."
Senator John McCain is calling Santorum "irrelevant" and a growing number of Republicans say he should go.
Now we find out Santorum is taking four days off from campaigning. Wonder what that's about. Do you suppose a little soul-searching is in order?
There is absolutely no way Rick Santorum is going to be the Republican presidential nominee. You know it, I know it, the voters know it, and on some level Rick Santorum knows it, too.
So why stay too long at the dance and see what little credibility you might have left ripped to shreds as folks watch you refuse to accept reality?
Here’s my question to you: Rick Santorum for president? Seriously?
Interested to know which ones made it on air?
Why is there so much interest in a 2016 Hillary Clinton run?
FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
The 2012 presidential election is still seven months away but perhaps not surprisingly many are already eyeing 2016 and Hillary Clinton.
The Secretary of State, former New York Senator and former First Lady is generating plenty of buzz even though she insists it's not happening.
Nancy Pelosi became the latest to weigh-in on Hillary's future, saying it would be "so exciting" to see Mrs. Clinton run in 2016. New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Donald Trump and even her husband, Bill Clinton, have been talking about it too, along with the chattering class of pundits.
The co-author of "Game Change" recently said there's a 99.4% chance Hillary will run for president in four years.
Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Maureen Dowd has suggested that maybe President Obama isn't a strong enough advocate for women, and that Hillary Clinton might benefit from renewed focus on issues like abortion and birth control.
Ever the politician, the former president is leaving the door open for his wife to run. Bill Clinton says "I believe she's being absolutely honest... when she says she doesn't think she'll go back into politics," but he adds that if Hillary changes her mind and decides to run for president, he'd be "happy."
For her part, Hillary Clinton has said she doesn't want to serve a second term in the Obama Administration. She says she wants to finish up as Secretary of State and then take time to reconnect with family and friends, hit the writing and speaking circuit, etc.
Hillary Clinton says all the talk about running for president is flattering, but that she's "not at all planning to do that." Hillary says she has no "desire or intention" to run.
Here’s my question to you: Why is there so much interest in a 2016 Hillary Clinton run?
