Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum
The day in Rick:
Reuters: Little home comfort for Santorum in Pennsylvania – “A narrow victory may not be enough for Santorum, who could be under pressure on primary night to quit the race if Romney wins big in other liberal states like New York and Connecticut which hold primaries on the same night as Pennsylvania.”

CNN: Louisiana vote shows the race goes on – “Fresh off a big win in Louisiana, Rick Santorum insisted Sunday that Republicans are rejecting the premise that rival Mitt Romney has virtually locked up the GOP presidential nomination. “Even though a lot of folks are saying this race is over, people in Louisiana said, ‘No, it’s not,’ ” Santorum said on the CBS program “Face the Nation” about victory in Saturday’s Bayou State primary. The New York Times reminds us that Santorum’s delegate haul was modest.”
LATimes: Santorum’s ‘Obamaville‘ ad links Ahmadinejad with Obama - ”Forty seconds in, the ad is at its most combative, showing a rundown television briefly flashing between an image of President Obama and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the narrator warns that a ‘sworn American enemy becomes a nuclear threat.’”
Politics Now: Beer, bowling key to Rick Santorum’s uphill battle in Wisconsin - ”To celebrate his landslide win in Louisiana, Santorum joined supporters at a Green Bay tavern, where he drank Dark Helmet Schwartzbier with his burger and fries. For good measure, Santorum played a few rounds of shuffleboard, hamming it up with playful shouts of ‘It’s getting nasty now,’ and ‘Whoa, did you see that?’”
