Santorum Says He’ll be Better Prepared in 2016

Rick Santorum told the Des Moines Register that if he runs again for president, he will have a more robust organization in Iowa than his famously shoestring operation in 2012.

Said Santorum: “Obviously, we’re going to be in a little better shape, we’re organized already just from having campaigned in a lot of states. Folks are anxious to help us. Just that alone puts us light years ahead of where we were.”

He added: “It just amazed me how many people I know.”

Political Moneyline notes Santorum “still has $552,895 in debts outstanding. Although he has spent the last three days in Iowa, his 2013 fundraising has been almost non-existent. His $138,396 in receipts in the first six months have been mostly from renting his donor lists out to others.”
