On his knees, stained and prayin’. Yes, Santorum’s on a mission.
(photo credit: Tony Cenicola/The New York Times caption: A supporter of Mr. Santorum prayed as they waited for him to appear in Lafayette, La. The outcome of the Alabama and Mississippi primaries strengthened Mr. Santorum’s argument that he should emerge as the final competitor to Mr. Romney)

He’s doing it, his visual co-hort is doing it: everybody’s worried about Newt. Still, doesn’t mean he’s going anywhere.

Nicole Bengiveno’s GOP primary/racial segregation shot is the smartest, bravest campaign pic I’ve seen all year. The pic may be “overstretching” the metaphor, but the vote was segregated. Mostly white people voted in the South’s GOP primaries yesterday.
(photo credit: Nicole Bengiveno/The New York Times caption: People in Birmingham, Ala., waited to register vehicles at the Jefferson County Courthouse , which was also a polling station. There have been lines at the courthouse since major cuts in the budget.)

Did you know Santorum was “Made in America”? Does he mean, as opposed to “Made in Kenya?”
