Rick Santorum Says He's Considering Run for President in 2012
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyFormer Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has told supporters he is contemplating a run for president. In a letter Friday to America's Foundation, his political action committee, Santorum wrote, "I am considering putting my name in for the 2012 presidential race," CNN first reported. The conservative Republican wrote he is "concerned about the direction Barack Obama is taking our country." "I'm convinced that conservatives need a candidate who will not only stand up for our views, but who can articulate a conservative vision for our country's future," Santorum wrote. "And right now, I just don't ...

Sarah Palin Farewell Tour: The Start of Something Big?
By Emily Miller - Politics DailySince announcing her resignation on July 3, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has been all over the state for what seems to be a farewell tour, Alaska style. Palin has been waxing poetic about her state, giving the impression she is moving on to greater things -- a run for president. When asked by the Associated Press about the purpose of the tour, she denied it was goodbye, saying, "It's more like thanks for letting me be here and I'll see you soon." ...
Campaign 2012: Ready, Set, Go!
By Mo Rocca - Politics DailyThe 2008 campaign (the public part at least) began 21 months ago. The next presidential campaign will only begin earlier. Is that a bad thing?Here's a commentary I did for yesterday's CBS News Sunday Morning. Whom would you like to see run in 2012? ...
Predictions From Greg
By Greg McNeilly - Politics DailyWhat would prediction folly be without foolish predictions! So here's my 2.5 cents of clairvoyance: 1. People vote. Pretty sure that'll happen. In fact I can boldly predict tomorrow, Tuesday, November 4th people will vote. I'll go further. Some will make the right choice, others a wrong one. But all together, they're be more voices than we seen in a very long time. Nationally, between 65-68% of the voting age population will participate. 2. Someone wins. There will be a winner Election Night. 3. Margins won't matter. Closer than many expect, contests in battleground states will surprise ...
Divorce on Clintons To-Do List?
By Dave - Politics DailyWell there's not much evidence of an actual impending end of "Billary" in this poorly sourced article. Just a lot of open speculation, but this is the best quote: The First Post quoted a source close to Mrs Clinton's staff saying: "Why on earth would she stay with him now? It's over. The feeling is that she can do better in the Senate without him, and better if she wants to take another shot at the White House in 2012." Again, it's just speculation from a better source, with just a hint that it might reflect from strategic thinking on the campaigns part. Personally, I doubt it. If she ...
Justice Hillary
By Dave - Politics DailyUnless you've been under a rock for the last two days, you now know that Hillary is quitting/conceding/congratulating, and because she's a Clinton and Clinton's don't quit, it is highly likely that she was either threatened with something, or she was promised something. Since I doubt that Hillary is scared of much, I'm going to go with an assumption that she was promised something. Other than a keynote at the convention that is, the big speech is a given. VP? That's doubtful. I don't think she wants to play second fiddle if Obama wins, and she certainly doesn't want to be anywhere near the ...
One Term McCain
By Dave - Politics DailyMarc Ambinder: When he formally announced his presidential candidacy last year, Sen. John McCain was inches away from making an unprecedented pledge: if he were elected, he would serve only one term as president. It could have been an earth-shifting moment for the campaign and the primary. At the time, McCain's fundraising pace was falling well short of its target and Republicans were not treating McCain as the frontrunner. The idea to serve one term had long been discussed among top advisers, and McCain was on board. This story is created a little buzz yesterday. I remember the rumor, ...
Govs Knock Primary Schedule
By Faye Anderson - Politics DailyThe 2008 presidential primary season is in the final stretch. The compressed primary and caucus schedule has been like manna from heaven for Barack Obama. The demographics of Super Tuesday voters powered him to victory. His frontrunner status was secured with a string of victories two weeks later.So, while Obama is clearly happy with how things have worked out, a survey taken at the National Governors Association winter meeting found that most respondents want to change the schedule for the 2012 presidential election. ...
