Rick Santorum’s wife Karen told GBTV on Thursday that her husband’s rise in the polls is due to God’s will.
The Washington Times reported:
The wife of presidential candidate Rick Santorum said Thursday that his rise in the polls is due to God working in mysterious ways.
“I personally think this is God’s will. I think He has us on a path, and I do think there’s a lot more happening than what we’re seeing,” Karen Santorum told Glenn Beck as she and her husband sat for an interview on his Web-based show, GBTV. “Personally I mean I think Rick’s a great guy, and he’s really smart and everything. But I think a lot more is happening than what we can actually see.”
Mrs. Santorum said she initially was reluctant to have him run for the White House — so much so that when Mr. Santorum approached her and asked her to pray about it, he said her initial reaction was that she wouldn’t even pray because “God couldn’t possible want you to do this.”
