NATIONAL CONSERVATIVE LEADERS COALESCE
BEHIND SANTORUM
Mt.
Pleasant, SC - Today in Texas, national conservative leaders united
behind the candidacy of Republican Presidential candidate Rick
Santorum. Rick Santorum made the following statement in response to the
outpouring support.
Rick
Santorum said: "This is an endorsement that was coveted by every
campaign, and I am deeply honored by their support - it is a great day
for our campaign. The process has worked, the voters have gotten a
chance to hear from every candidate and explore their records. This
endorsement is another indication that it is time to coalesce behind
the full spectrum conservative in this race who will fight for their
values and won't waiver when times get tough. Now is the time to stop a
moderate from becoming our Party's nominee and to unite behind the one
candidate who draws the sharpest contrasts with Barack Obama. I am
thankful for this outpouring of support and for the momentum that is
building behind our candidacy. Together, in the Fall, we can defeat
Barack Obama and restore America."

Evangelical Leaders
Split Between Not Mitt and Not Mitt
Polls Show Conservatives Backing Gingrich
in South Carolina
Columbia, S.C. - Newt 2012
spokesman R.C. Hammond released the following statement today:
"Conservative evangelical leaders spoke very clearly today that Mitt
Romney will not be the nominee. It is encouraging for the
Republican
Party to have two choices in Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. It
is
also encouraging that public opinion polls show South Carolina
conservatives consolidating their support behind Newt Gingrich just a
week before the all important First in the South Primary."
Four recent polls of the Palmetto State show Newt as emerging as the
clear conservative alternative to Mitt Romney.
Public Policy Polling released their poll on Friday. It shows Newt's
favorability rating going up four points in the last week while Mitt
Romney's has gone down seven. Also, it shows that Newt is the top
second choice of South Carolina voters.
When voters were asked who they most trusted on foreign policy, 52%
said Newt. 18% answered Romney.
