THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Rick Santorum attacked rival Mitt Romney on Sunday calling him "the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama" as the former Massachusetts governor looked on pace to clinch the Republican party nomination.
Santorum told voters that Romney is "uniquely disqualified" to be theRepublican's presidential pick and urged his supporters to stand with him even as he faces an increasingly improbable pathway to the nomination, despite an easy victory in the Louisiana primary the night before.
With all Louisiana precincts reporting, Santorum captured 49 percent of the vote to 27 percent for Romney. Newt Gingrich, was far back at 16 percent, followed by Ron Paul with 6 percent.
Although the victory gives Santorum bragging rights and 10 more delegates, it does not change the overall dynamics of the race. The former Pennsylvania senator still dramatically lags behind Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, in the battle for delegates to the party's August nominating convention in Tampa, Florida. » | Monday, March 26, 2012
