Santorum Scores Huge Win in Louisiana

Did Mitt Romney hit the Etch-A-Sketch reset button too early?

That’s what Romney aide Eric Fehrnstrom must be asking himself today after Rick Santorum’s huge victory in Louisiana where he came close to winning a majority of the vote among four remaining candidates.

Santorum was projected the winner with less than 20 percent of the vote counted on the basis of a commanding 45 percent to 28 percent lead over Romney, with Newt Gingrich getting 19 percent and Ron Paul with 6.

Santorum’s win was his fourth in the South, where front-runner Mitt Romney has not been able to connect with conservative voters.
