Talent’s numbers have been on the up and up suddenly and a recent USA Today/Gallup poll has him 6 points over Atilla McCaskill. Of course, Talent recently received a gift so pure it could have only come from heaven itself when his Marxist opponent made the following remarks:
Open mouth, insert foot, Claire?
I just got back from my Republican Committee meeting and there was a lot of casual talk about all kinds of issues, but someone brought up the prospect of Santorum running for President in 2008. Actually, it was more than a prospect as far as this individual was concerned. I have heard rumors that Rick is considering a run, but apparently it is more than just a rumor. In fact, according to the individual that brought up the subject, if Hillary jumps into the race then Rick is almost definitely going to run. Of course, he has to get over his first hurdle which is to get reelected to the Senate first. If he loses that then I think any hopes for the White House are shattered. Furthermore, I do recall earlier this year at a Young Republicans meeting where Rick’s State Director was speaking and someone asked him that, if reelected, would Santorum pledge to serve a full term and not seek another “opportunity”. The gentleman, without hesitation, said no. Interesting gossip among the talking heads here in Allegheny County.
