New York Times: “With the Republican nominating fight turning into a protracted slog for delegates…Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, made an appeal on Sunday morning to a coveted group of swing voters in an effort to win the Illinois primary: women.”
Washington Post: “Romney and his wife, Ann, made a populist play for the support of women, a demographic his strategists see as key to beating rival Rick Santorum in Illinois and in the primaries to come.”
Politico: “While Santorum campaign aides see opportunity for him to win Louisiana, and to perform strongly outside Cook County in Illinois — helped by rural areas filled with conservatives that make up his base — polls show Romney with a slight lead.”
WSJ: “The development of a conservative power center in the party is being mirrored in the presidential race, as Messrs. Romney and Santorum barnstorm the state.”
