Take a look at a longer video segment from presidential candidate Rick Santorum's speech he made in Racine County Sunday. Was the reporter being fair in his line of questions? And how do you feel about Santorum's angry response?
Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum is trying to distinguish himself as a true conservative in the campaign — in part by comparing opponent Mitt Romney's position on health care to President Barack Obama's health care reform law. But Santorum feels his words keep getting pulled out of context and distorted by the media, and that led to a confrontation between Santorum and New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny at an event in Caledonia Sunday night. On Monday morning, a segment on the CBS News focused on Santorum's speech. "Pick any other Republican in the country; he is the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama," Santorum said. But when Zeleny questioned Santorum about the statements he made, the discussion …

Political experts say Wisconsin's 42 delegates in the winner-take-all primary could be the final blow for Rick Santorum, or it could be the needed momentum builder to carry him deeper into the election.
Over the past year, Wisconsin voters have gone to the polls to declare a winner in significant, and historic, state elections. As the Republican presidential primary approaches, state voters will once again play a decisive role — this time on a national stage. After three months since the Iowa caucuses, the GOP primary has essentially narrowed to a two-candidate race between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. On April 3, 42 important delegates from Wisconsin will be up for grabs in a winner-take-all election that could significantly alter the complexion of the Republican primaries moving forward. Santorum received a bit of a momentum boost on Saturday, with a resounding win in the Louisania primaries, where he took 49 percent of the vote to …

The Republican presidential hopeful says people shouldn't believe everything they read or hear because he while he is trailing, the math putting Romney so far ahead is faulty and Santorum is not even close to throwing in the towel.
Calling numbers reported in the media "faulty math," Republican Rick Santorum said his race to be the GOP Presidential nominee is far from over. "We estimate that (Mitt) Romney has 42 percent of the delegates, and I have about 30 so that's not that far behind," Santorum told reporters before his Rally for Rick began Sunday at South Hills Country Club. "There's a lot left to this race." Specifically, Santorum is looking forward to the May primaries, which he says are in states that are in his court; places like Texas, Arkansas and Kentucky. "This race is far from over," he stated.
The GOP presidential hopeful visited Racine County Sunday to drum up support for his candidacy. He told the crowd of about 100 that if Republicans want to take back the White House, they need a true conservative, and he is it.
Telling the crowd that he is a conversative and not just running as one, Rick Santorum told the crowd at South Hills Country Club in Caledonia Sunday that nominating a moderate will not take back the White House. About 100 people gathered to listen to the candidate talk about his platform as part of the "Rally for Rick" events taking place across the state. "You know what happens when we nominate a moderate?" he asked. "We lose. It is not since the days of Ronald Reagan that we have had the courage to stick to our ideals." Santorum pointed out his plan to get the country back on track embraces the fiscal and social policies of a true conservative: smaller government; lower taxes to help grow the economy; and a push to restore the American …

A story running on the Huffington Post points out that Wisconsin residents are paying far more attention to the upcoming recalls than to the Republican presidential primary.
Given the events here over the past 15 months, is it really any wonder that Wisconsin residents are focused more on recall than on the Republican presidential primary? A story on The Huffington Post says if we are paying more attention to recall than presidential politics, then we've got it about right. Even the co-chair for Mitt Romney's campaign agrees that we have our priorities in order. "People are not focused on the presidential," Ted Kanavas in quoted as saying. "They are totally focused on the recall because truthfully they should be." Rep. Robin Vos (R-Rochester) reportedly told Reince Priebus, Republican National chair, that Wisconsin is just not thinking about the presidential primary. That isn't stopping the candidates from …

Congressman Paul Ryan says this year's outcomes in Wisconsin will affect a whole generation. And national pundit Michelle Malkin says a Walker recall loss would be "the most damaging thing" in American politics
Wisconsin is "ground zero." Wisconsin is "pivotal." Wisconsin is "critical." Wisconsin is where "the battle will be won." Or lost. Speaker after speaker at the "Defending the American Dream Summit" Saturday in Milwaukee reiterated that this is the battleground for conservatives. It's expected that presidential hopefuls will tell the party faithful that their state's votes are the most important, wherever they might be. But the only such presidential hopeful on the docket Saturday at the Wyndham Hotel was former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum. Yet, speaker after speaker on the docket — be they sitting members of Congress or pundits or organizers at the national, state or local levels — said the same: All eyes are on Wisconsin. The Wisconsin …

What we can't be doing is tearing apart our Republican candidates, by stating all of the mistakes that this candidate has made. Who we really should be attacking is President Obama and trying to take him down. more ›
