This morning I am emailing you from Ohio, before a long day of campaigning. I'll shake hundreds of hands, speak before thousands of supporters and crisscross the Buckeye state seeking votes. I'll talk about big issues, listen and share my conservatism with every open heart.
Here in the heartland our campaign is within striking distance of pulling off another string of victories on Super Tuesday. Despite being outspent 12-to-1 by the Romney machine we are polling ahead in Oklahoma, Tennessee and neck and neck in Ohio. We aren't taking anything for granted though because we've been here before and know what it takes to win.
Our volunteers are making thousands of get out the vote calls. Our campaign is knocking on doors and sharing our principled, conservative vision for America. And we are defending ourselves from the lies, distortions and desperate attacks from our rivals.
We are working harder than every other campaign but we still need your help...
Even in the homeland of law and democracy, freedom of conscience is in danger. This is the unprecedented accusation that the bishops are hurling against the president of the United States. Here is the confidential letter in which they explain why
Romney is actually not the strongest Republican candidate for the general election in Wisconsin. That mantle goes to Rick Santorum who trails the President by only 6 points at 49-43...
Also notable, among likely Republican primary voters who will definitely vote in the primary, Santorum held an even wider advantage over Romney, 38% to 30%. And among self-identified independents and Democrats, Santorum led with 40% to Romney's 27%.
Michigan has an open primary in which any registered voter can participate...
This is probably one of the best interviews I’ve heard with Rick Santorum. It is definitely worth listening to especially if you want to hear him talk, not only about the false attacks on him as a big government Republican, but to hear him explain his votes for No Child Left Behind and the prescription drug benefit which get brought up a lot, especially from those who simply support another candidate. He admits he was wrong on the former and says he will pay for the latter and I must admit, I find him sincere in his explanations. In fact, taking a full measure of the man, I find him to be nearly as sincere as they come. I also like that he isn’t getting a big head with his latest poll numbers...
A key bellwether state for both Super Tuesday and the General Election is Ohio. It is a must win state for Republicans. If Santorum can win both Michigan and Ohio, he will be well on his way to earning enough delegates to win the Republican nomination. It would put him in an enormous position of strength before going into Texas on April 3d. Rick Santorum is not an Anti-Romney candidate. He is our conservative alternative to President Obama...
Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are virtually tied nationally in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, a CNN/ORC poll shows.
Santorum more than doubled his support since last month. Among Republicans and independents who lean toward the GOP, 34% say they back Santorum and 32% back Romney. The margin is well within the survey's sampling error.
The poll numbers indicate a split in the Republican Party that goes deeper than ideology, with signs of a gender gap and disagreement between white-collar and blue-collar voters.
