Plenty to report on tonight from Rick Santorum’s appearance in Mobile at a dinner for the Alabama Policy Institute, followed tomorrow by reports (I hope) on a Santorum public rally at the USS Alabama Battleship and on a Gingrich rally later in the day Friday in Mobile.
Other blog posts here in the coming hour or so will report on what Santorum said tonight. For now, though, here was my very brief interview with his daughter Elizabeth, who was travelling with him:
Q: “What do people not know about your Dad that he should know?”
Elizabeth: (Laughs). “He’s really funny.”
Q: “Really?”
Eliz: “He has a great sense of humor. He’s funny, and he loves to quote movies, and he loves to sing —
Q: “Really? He loves to sing?”
Eliz: “He loves Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin, and, you know he grew up in an Italian house and that type of music was always played and it was played in our house growing up. And I can remember him cooking pasta and singing Frank Sinatra…. It’s the fun side of him.”

OK, he loves to sing, but CAN he sing?
I love to sing too but I'm really dreadful. That's the one thing I'd change about myself, I'd sing on street corners and be happy.
Now, Romney has sung a few bars and been pretty bad, better than me, but really, not so good.
So, can Santorum give us "Volare"?
That would rock if it was good!

Aw, he loves to sing. That's sweet. He also loves to lynch homos, cause he's a latent one hisself.

If Santorum gets the GOP nod, maybe he and Obama can have an American-Idol style sing-off.

'....Opening up a new front against Santorum, the Romney campaign accused him of being a lobbyist in his home state of Pennsylvania even before he went to Washington in 1991.Romney's campaign also attacked Santorum for holding regular meetings with lobbyists as a U.S. Senate leader, part of the Republican "K Street Project" seeking to increase the party's influence in the capital."Senator Santorum's claims to be a Washington outsider are at odds with the facts. After serving as a lobbyist in Pennsylvania before running for Congress, Santorum became a go-to guy for D.C. lobbyists while he served in the Senate," Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in a statement headlined: "Lobbyist/Congressman/Senator Rick Santorum: The Insider's Insider."With an appeal to evangelicals and conservatives that Romney often lacks, Santorum is challenging the idea his rival is the inevitable Republican nominee to face Obama in November's election.....'

'....A new official delegate count being kept by the Republican National Committee reveals that Newt Gingrich has won more "bound" delegates in the presidential primary than Rick Santorum.
Gingrich has won 107 delegates compared to Santorum's 95, according to the RNC's count, which was made after Super Tuesday. That effectively puts him in second place behind front-runner Mitt Romney.But the RNC does not count delegates from states like Iowa in its total, according to the Huffington Post, which first reported the story. The Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses did not officially allocate any of the state's 28 delegates to the national convention.....'
