The only thing that can stop Santorum in Ohio now is a John Kasich endorsement.
I think they're friends so Rick might want to tell him to be quiet. That being said, I think Kasich is at least popular with the OH GOP base.
Reasonably so, yes. Enough an endorsement would help more than hurt, ESPECIALLY for an outsider like Santorum.
Come to think of it, it'd probably be a huge enough boost for Santorum to get that kind of insider clout that even the super PAC death star prbably couldn't save him.
With all respect to the Buckeye State GOP posters before, Santorum's biggest hinderence is the OH GOP, even compared to other states, does NOT like insurgent candidates. insider support is SO crucial here, and Santorum currently has none.
