LA Times: Beer and bowling key to Santorum's uphill battle in Wisconsin

From The LA Times:

Even before his victory in the Louisiana primary on Saturday, the map of states won by Rick Santorum covered a huge expanse of the nation’s midsection, from the Deep South to the Canadian border, from the Appalachians to the Rockies.

His main target now is Wisconsin, and Santorum’s pitch here is largely cultural: I’m like you.

To celebrate his landslide win in Louisiana, Santorum joined supporters at a Green Bay tavern, where he drank Dark Helmet Schwartzbier with his burger and fries. For good measure, Santorum played a few rounds of shuffleboard, hamming it up with playful shouts of “it’s getting nasty now” and “whoa, did you see that?”

The brewery party came a few hours after Santorum’s visit to a Wisconsin bowling alley, an exploit he gladly shared Sunday morning with a national television audience to explain his larger point.

Imagine the disgrace all Americans would feel if our commander in chief lost a bowling competition to say the Chinese! It would be the ruination of our great country!

Your brain would have to messed up on something to favor him.
