Santorum, Jindal and Gilmore the final ones I removed. I just have to assume Ricky Bobby will bow out before Thanksgiving, and Gilmore? I guess every season needs its Mike Gravel, but I dunno.
― pplains, Wednesday, 27 May 2015 14:27 (nine years ago) link
I can't even begin to rank 'em. Also can't believe Santorum's taking another shot (spurt?) at it. What a putz.

republicans are hilarious. I can't even think of an electable republican at this point.
Think harder. Reagan and both Bushes were "hilarious" too.

Wiki: Before the 2006 election, Santorum was frequently mentioned as a possible 2008 presidential candidate.
I do recall seeing him on Sunday talk shows back then.
