In my earlier post, I described Rick Santorum breaking off his speech to help attend to a woman who fainted flat-out onto the hard concrete floor. Here’s the video.

I also mentioned a post-speech interview that Mobile Press-Register Political Editor George Talbot did with Santorum. With photographer Bill Starling filming, here’s part of it. Talbots short report online so far does not include notes from that interview.

Finally, one last note from last night. The Alabama Policy Institute, a truly influential and excellent think tank, had invited all four remaining GOP candidates to its forum and dinner. Only Santorum accepted. I saw API founder and president Gary Palmer again today. His response to Santorum’s appearance? “He looked presidential — he really connected with the audience.”
