1. SANTORUM PLANS TO CAMPAIGN INTO MAY

Rick Santorum says his campaign can and will survive the many April primaries in states that are less conservative and more favorable to Mitt Romney. Santorum is vowing to hold out until May, when a number of more conservative states in the South hold their nominating contests. Today, Wisconsin, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. all hold their nominating contests, and Romney is ahead in the polls in all three. All eyes are on the race in Wisconsin, where Santorum was leading until recently. [Politico]
