Santorum gets a grilling on ‘Meet the Press’
Rick Santorum on Sunday defended his 2008 support for Mitt Romney for president and his record on abortion and earmarks in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
The former Pennsylvania senator, who for the first time in the 2012 presidential race is in the spotlight, got the grilling that comes along with it from “Meet the Press” moderator David Gregory.

But Santorum’s current surge in Iowa evokes nothing so much as Edwards’ rapid rise in the Hawkeye State in the final days before the 2004 caucuses.
