This article addresses the Michigan and Arizona primary decisions last night, as well as Rick Santorum's message to the American people in hopes to sway them for their vote. Santorum has been noted as spreading many controversial comments lately, such as his comment that Obama is a "snob" for suggesting that everyone go to college.

"The former Pennsylvania senator looks like he swallowed a lemon -- and he acts like America is the lemon he swallowed," he wrote. "There is no way that a man who expresses such a dark view of the American national character can win the presidency."

This quote fairly well sums up how Santorum has been acting towards America. As many of is suggested policies are very strongly partisan and will potentially lack support in the general election. He has however, rescinded or "reworded" some comments he had made earlier about women and their place in the home. He has also started to address the economy more directly recently.
