Sorry, my inner adolescent couldn’t resist that headline. But it looks like Rick Santorum, America’s favorite ex-Senator, is seriously mulling a White House bid in 2012: Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) gave his clearest words to date that he is seriously mulling a 2012 presidential bid. “Absolutely — absolutely taking a look,” he told ABC’s [...]
