[font size = 4]Rick Santorum: Obama's 'Minions' Were Scared Of Me In 2012 [/font size = 4]He went on to suggest he would have had a good chance against former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the Republican primary and against Obama in the general election, if he hadn't dropped out of the race.
"I asked one of the Obama minions who were running the campaign, 'Hey, why didn't you guys help me?' You know, I was up there battling Romney, and all these folks at MSNBC were saying, 'Wouldn't it be great if Santorum were the nominee?'" Santorum said.
"'Why didn't you help me? Why didn't you go out and bang me a little bit, hit me as being too conservative? Help me out a little bit?' And the consensus was, 'We didn't want you.' Because of this," he said, as he held up his book.

I would think you'd want to put it in GD or in the Barack Obama group.
