Santorum to announce candidacy for president
Rick Santorum will make it official Monday.

The former senator from Pennsylvania will formally announce his candidacy for president in Somerset County, near where his grandfather worked in a coal mine after coming to America from Italy.

"This location is significant because when Sen. Santorum's grandfather left fascist Italy, he came to this country for America's freedom and the opportunity our nation afforded him," a source close to the Santorum campaign told CNN last month.

Santorum is arguably the most frequent flyer in the battle for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. He has made more than a dozen trips to Iowa since 2009. Iowa kicks off the presidential primary and caucus calendar.
