Santorum Campaigning For Second Day In Colo.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum is back in Colorado Wednesday looking for Republican caucus support as he tries to position himself as an alternative to Mitt Romney in the GOP presidential contest.

Santorum planned to spend his day in some of Colorado’s most conservative areas. Santorum planned to talk to Republicans in Colorado Springs and in Arapahoe and Teller counties. He’s also visiting Colorado Christian University. Santorum will speak at the Ute Pass Cultural Center in Woodland Park at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday then at Mr. Biggs Family Fun Center in the 5800 block of Mark Dabling Blvd. in Colorado Springs at 7:00 p.m. Santorum was initially scheduled to speak at Crusader’s Hall, but a new location was announced Wednesday afternoon.

Santorum and Ron Paul both stopped in Colorado Tuesday. Both faced certain losses in Florida, so they have been courting caucus-goers in other states.

Santorum placed third in Florida Tuesday behind Romney and Newt Gingrich. Santorum said the Republican race is “wide open.”

Colorado’s non-binding Republican precinct caucuses are Tuesday. Most of Colorado’s presidential delegates won’t be assigned until the state GOP assembly in April.
