Santorum Vows to Remain in Race Ahead of Wisconsin Primary 
-----------------------------------------------------------



The Republican presidential primary continues with a vote Tuesday in
Wisconsin. Frontrunner Mitt Romney has won a number of endorsements from
well-known party members in recent days, including Senator Marco Rubio
of Florida and former President George H.W. Bush. On Sunday, Romney's
main challenger, Rick Santorum, vowed to stay in the race.

Rick Santorum: "I just think we have a lot of panic out there among the
establishment because the establishment has tried to convince the
Republicans across this country and conservatives across this country
that they need Mitt Romney shoved down their throat, and they're trying
everything they can. They're not making the sale on the money, the
endorsements, they're not making the sale on the policies and what he's
standing for because he's all over the map, so they have to make the
case on inevitability and I can tell you, you saw the poll come out this
week that 60-plus percent of the people in the Republican party don't
want me to get out of this race because they want a conservative, and
right now the chance is Rick Santorum and hopefully we'll show that here
in Wisconsin."
