I don't see Huckster running again, though Santorum probably will.

[NHI]

Huckabee's chance was this year. Santorum will run again, but he won't ever be the nominee.

[Maxwell]

Watch Santorum get like 10% in Iowa in 2016 and drop out right away. That would be great.

and Huckabee won't run again, just like Pat Robertson before him.

Itd be unwise for either of them to try and primary President-to-be Romney.

[Comrade Funk]

Itd be unwise for either of them to try and primary President-to-be Romney.

Why would Romney run again after two presidential losses though?

These two aren't going to be the nominee in 2016. There are better alternatives.

Another Iowa trip on Santorum's calendar:

Invitation:



Note the "continued support" mentioned in the invitation.  Perhaps a hint that he's not done running for president.

[Mr. Morden]

Perry is going to the same Iowa event that Huck and Santorum are going to this weekend:
