Rick Santorum Asks U.S. Populace If He's Still Running For President
DES MOINES, IA—At a campaign stop Monday, former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum asked a crowd assembled in the parking lot of a Hy-Vee supermarket if he was still running for president. "America, I have only one question for you," said Santorum, who later wondered aloud if he might be mistaking himself for former Utah governor Jon Huntsman. "Am I, Rick Santorum, still a candidate for president of the United States? I think I am, but then again, I may have dropped out months ago because nobody really pays attention to me or cares about what I have to say. It's like I'm here but I'm not here. Anyway, just let me know if I'm still up for the nomination. Thanks!" Santorum's question has drawn comparisons to one put forth by fellow candidate Herman Cain, who in a recent speech asked his supporters why he was running for president.

3. Funny. Almost as funny as what he really said.
He may be near last in the polls, but Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum suggested to a Scott Community College class Wednesday that he has as good a chance of winning as any of the candidates in the race.

In this case, I happen to agree with him.

4. Mr. Frothy is almost as big a joke as the Palinoid, Cain, Perry, Mitt, and Bachmann.

6. My feeling is eventually, he'll be the frontrunner
Everyone else has, plus he's batshit insane like the rest, except from Huntsman.

11. Heh...
Did you see that Joe Theismann is in the 26th year of his contract holdout??

At least his leg is now healed, it's just his brain that is broken!!

10. No, Rick, what's running out your ass is not presidential.
Oh wait, it's coming out of your mouth -- so easily confused with your ass.
