A mere seven days after the Super Tuesday results solidified the standing of Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum as the two front-runners of the GOP presidential primary, the former Pennsylvania senator has proved once again that he is here to stay with wins in Alabama and Mississippi.

As the presidential election heats up, President Obama finds his numbers improving in Pennsylvania, according to a poll released today by Public Policy Polling. Obama pulled ahead of Romney by a 7 point margin, now 49-42. In 2011, Obama and Romney were neck-and-neck with one another.

There’s no place like the party base. Rick Santorum cruised to a win this weekend in Kansas, while Mitt Romney cleaned up on the islands: Guam, the Northern Marianas Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Alabama, Mississippi and Hawaii are next.

He’s shown promise, even flashes of greatness, but most analysts doubt he’ll make it to the big game. Former Senator Rick Santorum today picked up the support of San Diego Chargers Quarterback Philip Rivers.

Mitt Romney proved Tuesday night that all it takes is determination… and a huge financial advantage. The former Massachusetts Governor had the best night on Super Tuesday and ground his way to a win in Ohio, a key battleground of the GOP primary.

Ohio is a particularly important state for Rick Santorum to win, as he looks to regain some of the momentum he’s lost to Mitt Romney in recent weeks. But recent polls indicate that’s not likely to happen.
