The former Pennsylvania senator raised more money than Mike Huckabee this quarter:

Santorum raised $391,000 over the last three months for his America’s Foundation PAC, while Huckabee took in $258,000 during the same period. A Santorum aide said the PAC added 10,000 new donors in three months. Both Santorum and Huckabee are unabashed social conservatives who are sure to compete for evangelical voters in the early nominating states of Iowa and South Carolina, should they decide to run. Huckabee, though, disbursed more to midterm candidates in the second quarter ($70,000) than Santorum ($3,000). Huckabee also has more money left in the bank ($230,000).

Santorum’s a long shot for 2012 — “the darkest horse” — but with these numbers, he’s bringing himself into the conversation.
