Rick Santorum Visits Western Ohio


The presidential candidate stopped by K's, Troy, Ohio's legendary diner, best known for cooking burgers in their own grease on a wet grill:
With Miami County's strong Republican ties, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum stopped in at K's Hamburger Shop to convince customers still on the proverbial political fence that he's the strongest candidate to not only win the Republican ticket on Super Tuesday, but to defeat President Barack Obama in November.
"I'm the strongest candidate that fits right in with the conservative values of Ohio - I'm someone voters can trust," Santorum said as he walked through a crowd of more than 125 supporters in the restaurant.
It wasn't all malted milkshakes and handshakes as Santorum greeted supporters and answered questions from onlookers while waiting in line, like everyone else, for his order at the counter that has served multiple political figures, such as Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former President George W. Bush.
"Help us out," Santorum said as he shook hands, signed placards and posed for pictures as members of his staff passed out buttons and yard signs. "Thanks for coming out - it's good to see everybody."
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine escorted Santorum and his family, including his wife, Karen, and several of his children, to Troy before heading to Lima and Bowling Green.
I would predict Santorum will win almost all of the I-75 corridor, while losing the big cities other than Cincinnati.  It's going to be a very tight race.  I can't understand why anybody would vote for him, but at least this campaign stop was smart.  All I know is he did get some extremely good burgers.
