If Rick Santorum doesn't keep his Senate seat, the Pennsylvania Republican could always run for president - but not if these right-wing bloggers are voting.
Right Wing News reports that a survey of 58 conservative wags found the Western part-of-the-state senator to be the 14th least-desirable candidate for the GOP presidential nomination.
Yes, it's early, but if he's looking for encouraging news, Santorum polled better than currently indicted Tom DeLay, who was 12th least-desired. U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., took top dishonors among the conservative bloggers.
Who polled best? A woman of color. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice pulled the most votes, followed by ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuilani and U.S. Sen. George Allen, R-Va., and, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. (Rice also polled 11th least-desired, but 1 trumps 11.)
What was the panel? Read the bloggers for yourself, but be prepared at this tender hour to see posters of Ann Coulter:
