The foremost funder of Rick Santorum’s Super PAC, says Santorum will be in or near the lead of the GOP primary “very soon.”
“I believe Rick Santorum will become one of the front-runners very soon,” Foster Friess, a major donor to the Red White and Blue Fund, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
True, that’s not a particularly daring prediction: At this point, any one of the GOP Final Four could claim to be an overall “frontrunner.” Even the last-place finisher in Florida could claim to be “near” the lead. But that’s obviously not what Friess meant.
The businessman has donated $700,000 to Santorum’s political campaigns over the years and now says he has an “open checkbook” from which he’s willing to draw continually for the sake of Santorum’s presidential bid. At the same time, though, he’s prepared to donate in the general election to whoever becomes the GOP nominee. He just prefers Santorum, he said, because he has known him for more than 15 years on a personal basis.
