DATELINE JAN. 19, 2013: Rick Santorum Vows to Fight On!

Dateline Washington, D.C., Jan. 19, 2013: Republican Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum vowed to his supporters to fight on for the GOP nomination, despite the fact that President-elect Mitt Romney will take the presidential oath of office at the inauguration tomorrow. Speaking to a dwindling audience of supporters, consisting entirely of members of his immediate family, the former Pennsylvania Senator declared:

"Yes, we're entering the final quarter of the ball game, and we're behind in the score. Who is ready to play come from behind in the fourth quarter?"

Senator Santorum said he is not persuaded by the fact that Mitt Romney already has defeated President Barack Obama. "Yes, Mitt won the election," he noted, "but he won it the wrong way. He persuaded centrist voters to vote for him, instead of persuading them to change their political beliefs and vote for me."

Mrs. Santorum did not attend the campaign event, possibly because she has accepted a position in the new Romney Administration.
