3/26/12 – GOP Presidential candidate Rick Santorum addressed a crowd of over 300 people at Ledgeview Lanes in Fond du Lac Sunday afternoon. Fresh off a victory in the Louisiana primary Santorum talked about Obamacare’s failure, jobs, doing something about gasoline prices and took pokes at Mitt Romney. Santorum urged those attending to be “Game Changers” and help him win the Wisconsin primary and the Presidential Race.
While Santorum’s rally in Fond du Lac went on without a hitch, that wasn’t the case in Racine. He told a large crowd last night that Romney is quote, “the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama.” And when he tried to clarify the remark later, Santorum used a profanity to reporters and told one to quote, “Quit distorting my words.” When reporters questioned him further, he said he only meant to criticize Romney’s health care record as governor of Massachusetts. Romney spokesman Ryan Williams was at the Racine rally and said Santorum was “panicking in the final stages of his campaign.” Williams said he sees conservatives gathering around Romney and quote, “He’s rattled by the backlash caused by his suggestion that keeping Barack Obama would be better than electing a Republican.” Santorum said that last week and later took it back. Santorum will be making an appearance in Beaver Dam tomorrow. According to his campaign website, he’ll be at the Beaver Dam Elks Lodge around 11:30 tomorrow morning.
