Republican, Rick Santorum | featured news

Rick Santorum accused Fox News of "shilling" for Mitt Romney during an interview with Fox's Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday morning."The man has had a ten-to-one money advantage," Santorum said of Romney on the radio show "Kilmeade & Friends.""He's had all the organizational advantage.

A new poll Monday showed Mitt Romney is surprisingly strong in two Republican presidential primary contests in the South this week that are crucial to his conservative rivals Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.
