The super PAC supporting Rick Santorum's presidential campaign is giving him a quarter-million dollars' worth of air support in Ohio, putting up its first television ads across major media markets there Friday, a strategist familiar with the buy tells POLITICO.
The Red White & Blue Fund will run $53,500 in TV ads in the Columbus market, $56,000 in Cincinnati, $32,000 in Dayton and $40,500 in Toledo, the strategist said -- 500 points of television in each of those targeted areas. It's also airing $75,061 in ads on Fox and CNN in Cleveland.
The flight, which is from Friday to Wednesday, gives Santorum his first significant paid-media presence in the most symbolically important Super Tuesday state, where the pro-Romney group Restore Our Future has already been pounding the airwaves.

For those interested.
Are the super pacs helping in Michigan????
Not that I'm aware of. I believe Rick's campaign are running spots there now. He just put out a new ad, hitting Romney:
$1.7 million so far for Rick compared to Willard’s $2.4 mil.
Thank-you for the link, but Samtorum is being carpet bombed with
negative ads in Michigan how can he survive this money from Romney??
Romney HAS to lose Michigan!!!!!
I just can NOT stand Romney, it will be total despair if this creep gets
the nomination.
Santorum has stumped far better than Romney. It’s the only reason he’s still haning in there.

picked up 50 Santorum signs on Wednesday. All but about 10 are distributed in my precinct. I have been asking all Newt supporters to vote for Rick. Of all the four letter words to vote for on Tuesday, Rick is the best choice to help keep conservative alive. Here in the Grand Rapids area, it appears Santorum is winning big by about 14 points but Romney is faring better in the more eastern and populace areas of the state. I am predicting Romney by about 4 points overall here in Michigan. If voters get smart and swing Newt to Rick, we can defeat Mitt. Mitts speech the other day about all the little lakes and the trees being the right height....and those cars.......made me sick. Total fake.
You mean Mitt's fake? When did this happen? :-) /sarcasm.
FReepmail Antoninus to be added or removed.
EAGLES UP!
I’m signing up to be a delegate. I sent him money and am encouraging people to do the same. I read that Newt told his michigan backers to vote for Rick, to stop Romney. Also Rick made it on the indiana ballot after all.
Good news today for Rick.
Yes, ma’am. Good news indeed.
Agree, Kit cat. It’s beyond belief that this dishonorable plastic phony could possibly become our nominee.
Thanks for the update, Bowhunter.
And keep the faith that Rick will win Tuesday night in Michigan. Need a serious Operation Chaos moment from Newt supporters. :-)
Where did you read that, Linda? .. that Newt was urging his supporters to vote for Rick? It sure does make sense...
On Election Nights, Santorum Finishes Six Points Higher on Average than Polls Say.

(American Spectator) - “Rick Santorum held 15 events last week, and that may ultimately explain why Santorum continues his otherwise inexplicable surge in the Republican presidential race: He is simply out-working his opponents.”
