Today, the biggest news concerning the Republican race was the switch of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine from being a Romney delegate to now being a Santorum delegate. Early in the afternoon, I learned of the location of the announcement--which was on the east side of the Ohio Statehouse--and decided to see Santorum for myself (I work close by). Both locally and nationally this announcement was a surprise, especially considering that AG DeWine was always closely connected with the Republican old guard, which mostly swing in Romney's direction.
Santorum gave a quick speech and then answered questions, naturally the first of which were on his views on contraception (he just wants to outlaw it all, don't you know?). As he was being directed back through the small crowd that gathered, I got a chance to shake his hand. Not many opportunities arise to do something like that.
That must have been thrilling to have met Santorum!
