Santorum Now Open to '08 White House Run NewsMax.com WiresWASHINGTON - Two days after saying he had no intention of running for president in 2008, Republican Sen. Rick Santorum said Wednesday there was a slight possibility he could run after all. "There's a remote chance that that could change, but that's not my intention," Santorum told The Associated Press between television rounds to promote his new book, "It Takes a Family." Story Continues Below Separately, he said he wanted to "leave this little window open" because he didn't know what might happen between now and the election, according to a story posted on the Philadelphia Inquirer Web site. Santorum, a conservative from Pennsylvania, told the AP he could not think of any circumstances that would change his mind about not running. He said he has long said he has no intention of running for president, and was surprised his comments Monday garnered so much attention.
"It's three years from now. I don't know what my life's going to be like then. I mean lots of things happen in your life. Lots of things happen in politics," he said. Santorum is campaigning now in what is expected to be a tough race for re-election in 2006 against Democrat Bob Casey Jr. On Monday, Santorum said in an online interview with The Washington Post that he did not think campaigning for president right after his Senate race would be in the best interest of his family. He has six children ages 4-14.
