I would suspect Indiana would be a good state for Santorum because it's very similar to Ohio minus Cincinnati and Cleveland (Indi=Columbus). It lacks a butternut region like southeast Ohio but Indiana is generally less Catholic and more Evangelical than Ohio and probably has more in common with NW Ohio than any other part of the state: mostly endlessly flat farm fields with scattered industrial towns. In 2008 when Obama pulled his upset in Indiana, the part of Ohio that swung toward him the most was the northwest. NW Ohio was one of Santorum's best parts of the state last week and voted pretty similarly to the butternut region. Heck, Santorum even won Lucas County.
I have no concept of what an Oregon Republican is like, so I'll leave the prediction of that state to others.
