Santorum Takes Three States, Upsetting Romney’s Momentum

Rick Santorum

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum pulled off an upset Tuesday. Coming back from what looked like an eventual drop out, Santorum took Minnesota, Missouri, and Colorado. While by no means has Santorum pulled ahead in the delegate count of either Romney or Gingrich, this does show a major sense of unease around Mitt Romney’s support within the Republican base.

Countering Mitt Romney’s major gaffe last week about not being concerned about the very poor, Santorum said that he “cares about 100% of America” Romney has been hit from all sides for this statement, and its arguable that it hurt him in yesterdays contests. The next one will be the Maine Caucus on Saturday.
