Former presidential candidate and Pennsylvania Sen.Rick Santorum came to the Capitol to speak at the conservative New York Family Research Foundation. In a question and answer session with reporters, Santorum offered some encouragement to former New York Gov. George Pataki, who’s been exploring a possible run for the presidency.
Santorum says he was considered an underdog in 2012, and he won 11 primaries, and for a time was favored to win the nomination .
“I’m the last person who’s going to talk about electability and whether you have a chance or not,” said Santorum, with a laugh. “If you’re a good candidate, you can articulate a clear vision, you can organize and run a good campaign, and you can make a compelling case to the voter, you’d be surprised at what can happen in America.”
Santorum says he’ll decide whether he wants to run again for president by early summer.
