Rick Santorum Interview on ABC’s ‘This Week’: Fighting His Way to The Convention
EFFINGHAM, Ill. — Rick Santorum suggested that campaigning against Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination is merely a warm-up act to running against President Obama in the general election because, in his view, the two support similar policy positions.
“People ask me why I’m the best candidate to run against Barack Obama. It’s because I feel like, in many respects, I am running against Barack Obama here in this primary because Mitt Romney has the same positions as Barack Obama,” Santorum said today at an afternoon rally at a warehouse in southern Illinois.
Santorum often ties Romney to Obama based on their healthcare plans and positions on carbon emissions, but picking up the attacks on Romney today, Santorum added a new link between the Massachusetts governor and the president based on their stance on fossil fuels.
“Why, with sky rocketing gas prices, would we nominate someone who had the same position as President Obama with respect to fossil fuels? Why would we give that issue away in this election?” he asked.
