Santorum eyes second chance to beat Romney

Published



Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum may have one last chance to overtake front-runner Mitt Romney. It’ll come next Tuesday in Ohio.

Santorum missed his chance to deliver a devastating blow to Romney’s campaign in Tuesday’s primaries in Arizona and, particularly, Michigan, the state in which Romney was born and where his father was once governor. Defeating Romney there would have helped propel Santorum in the upcoming 10-state Super Tuesday contests, but Romney overcame Santorum’s lead, narrowly beating him in Michigan while coasting to an easy victory in Arizona.
