With Iowa PAC, Rick Santorum Looks Ready for 2012 Presidential Run

On Thursday, former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania announced that he was creating the Iowa Keystone Political Action Committee, a PAC that will help candidates in that state -- the site of the first caucus in the open battle for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

My federal PAC, Americas Foundation, has already assisted some candidates in the Hawkeye State, but I am eager to do more and the Iowa Keystone PAC will help us do that, said Santorum. There are many strong conservatives running in Iowa and assisting them with financial support may help put them in the victory column come Election Day.

The conservative Santorum will be headed to Iowa later in the month -- and based on these signs it looks like he will be heading there quite a bit in the next 15 months as a presidential candidate.
