9:48Now Playingdemocracynow.org - Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum has surged in the Republican presidential contest with wins in the Minnesota and Colorado caucuses, as well as a nonbinding primary in Missouri.

We get reaction to Santorum's victories from Michael Brendan Dougherty of Business Insider and the American Conservative and Jon O'Brien of Catholics for Choice.
