I didn't.
"Absolutely, positively not. Absolutely not," Santorum said yesterday on The Michael Smerconish Show on WPHT-AM (1210). "My wife would throw me out of the house if I do anything in '08."
Even though he lost his Senate seat last week by 18 points to Democrat Bob Casey Jr., some supporters hoped he would still fill the social conservative niche on the Republican ticket.
William J. Bennett, the former U.S. secretary of education and national drug czar, had predicted a "draft Rick Santorum" movement, citing a lack of conservatism on the part of the current GOP front-runners, Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Bloggers hashed out the possibility over the last week, too, posting commentary under headlines like "Rick Santorum for President!"
How crazy are these people? There's no way Santorum would get even the VP nod, let alone by nominated for president. He got his ass kicked.
No word on whether George Allen will graciously bow out yet...
