While speaking in Steubenville, Ohio, Rick Santorum pointedly said, “I have never been for a individual mandate on a state or a federal level.”
Santorum didn’t mention Mitt Romney by name but everyone knew of whom he was speaking. He then uttered Romney’s name when he pointed out that Romney supported the individual mandate on the federal level during the Obamacare debate.
Regardless of what happens in Ohio tonight, this is the issue that should be front and center for him because it is the only issue that could sink Romney.

U.S. Rep. Rick Santorum, R-Pittsburgh area, and Joe Watkins, a Philadelphia businessman who worked in the Bush White House, are seeking the Republican Senate nomination, creating the only true Senate primary race.
Both candidates responded to the League queries, which centered on health care, welfare reform and crime.
Santorum and Watkins both called for a "comprehensive restructuring" of health care. But they differed sharply on what elements should comprise a basic benefits package.
Watkins would include mental health services, long-term care, prescription drug coverage, dental services and preventive care such as immunizations. Santorum would not. Both reject abortion services.
Santorum and Watkins both oppose having businesses provide health care for their employees. Instead, they would REQUIRE INDIVIDUALS TO PURCHASE INSURANCE. Both oppose higher taxes on alcohol or tobacco to help pay for care.
Candidates Diverge On Health Care Remedies

SANTORUM and Watkins would REQUIRE INDIVIDUALS TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE rather than forcing employers to pay for employee benefits. Both oppose abortion services and support limits on malpractice awards. Santorum says non-economic damages should not exceed $250,000, adjusted annually for inflation, and lawyers' contingency fees should be capped at 25 percent.
The Republicans are split, however, on the issues of raising "sin" taxes to pay for expanded coverage and on allowing a national board to set spending limits.
