Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum is getting some good news this week out of the Rust Belt, a region that is expected to play a critical role in the 2012 election.
The Red, White and Blue Fund (RWB Fund), a super PAC backing Santorum, announced Friday it's spending $257,000 to buy ad time in Ohio, a key swing state. The investment comes a week and a half before "Super Tuesday" on March 6, when Ohio and nine other states will hold their nominating contests.
A Quinnipiac poll from earlier this month showed Santorum leading among likely Ohio Republican primary voters with 36 percent, followed by Mitt Romney with 29 percent.
The RWB Fund has already purchased ads in Michigan, where Republicans vote on February 28 and Santorum is trying to maintain a slight lead.

For those interested.
Go OHIO! Beat Romney!
It’s infuriating watching the Liberal wolf in conservative sheep’s clothing harping to Michiganders about the few impurities of conservative Santorum.
The guy who decided again and again in favor of abortion puts on airs as if he’s qualified to lecture anyone on the subject.
257 k barely pays for the wine
just sayin
This is where I scream at you: &^%&&)(*(*(&)*()()*)^*^%$^%$&^*$^%$^$%^
Romney supporter. LOL!
Just kidding, ag. I’m sure he’ll spend more after Michigan and Arizona. Who knows?
Sorry to all Rick buffs, but I voted today, in Ohio, for Gingrich.
I like Rick, but...not enough.
FReepmail Antoninus to be added or removed.
I feel much the same way about Gingrich.
It seems we need an amalgamating moment or person at this point in time.
Or, it's to the barricades!
Are they going to take pot shots out of some inflated sense of self righteouness ebullience on Tuesday night if "St. Rick", or "Little Ricky" goes down to defeat yet the man we fear the most for the nomination Mitt Romney moves forward as a result and the RINO officialdom solidifies? How do they countenance THAT reasoning!!??
Time for everyone to get on the anti- Romney/Paul Alliance bandwagon here and pull out all the stops for a Conservative Senator.
Oh please, everyone knows when Rick's numbers go down, Newt's goes up. Why do you say such stuff? You say 'fear' - so you are manipulating voters out of unfounded fear - that's liberalism.
I really like Gingrich but he doesn’t stand a chance here in Arizona. Santorum has my vote!
Thank you very much for not being an FR moron and for casting your vote in Arizona for Santorum and for also openly expressing that here!
Will you say the same thing for Newt in Georgia and Tennesse and pull out the stops for Speaker Gingrich?
If Santorum is soundly beaten by the RINO-ANARCHIST tag team in Arizona and Michigan, well, yes, I might have to consider such an action.
Many people in our secularist society and culture like to say, “It's the economy, stupid.” Well, the bad economy is simply a symptom a bad disease. It is the lack of morality that has caused this nation and the world's economy to fail.
And, many think that supporting an immoral and unprincipled person like Romney, who has made “his” political successes by condoning and implementing immoral practices and policies, will cure the disease? Wrong they are.
Until we return to God and respect His laws of the dignity and sanctity of the human person and proclaim His glory, we will continue to fall.
Santorum is always ahead 2 weeks out ,then Romney comes in with his millions and good BYE Rick
One historical fact regarding Santorum is in most of his elections, he seems to perform better than polling. I don't know why and I don't know if this will hold true in Michigan or not.
Since there's been so much press regarding Team Romney's negative advertising blitz against Gingrich and the effect it had, I wonder if there will be a backlash this time?
