Romney looks to squelch Santorum in 2 states (actual AP headline!)

[EarlG]

GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) — Republican presidential challenger Rick Santorum is hoping that his weeks of criticism of GOP front-runner Mitt Romney will pay off Tuesday when Colorado and Minnesota hold nominating caucuses. Romney, in turn, is looking to continue his winning streak after back-to-back victories in Florida and Nevada last week.

The outcome of Colorado and Minnesota isn't likely to dramatically change the dynamics of the GOP presidential race. But a Santorum victory in either of them could give him a boost — for a day at least — while shining a light on Romney's troubles with conservative voters who long have been skeptical of his candidacy.

"This is a big day for us to see whether all the work that we put in in the past few weeks, when not so much attention was paid here as to Florida and Nevada, pays off," Santorum said at a Denver rally a night before the contests got under way.

Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator and fierce anti-abortion rights opponent, bypassed Nevada and Florida to essentially camp out in Colorado and Minnesota, spending the past week assailing Romney to lay the groundwork among conservatives who dominate. Santorum has portrayed himself as the only conservative choice in those caucus states.

2. It seems odd, does it not...

that two days ago, the last place finisher in those game-ending Nevada Caucuses...was DOA...

And now...Romney is spending money on attack ads and trying to fend off a "comeback".

Wonder what David Frum & Bill Bennett have to say about that?
