Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, appealing to Tea Party and Christian groups in Ohio yesterday, criticized rival Mitt Romney for seeking a “bailout” for the 2002 Winter Olympics and complaining about congressional earmarks.
The former Pennsylvania senator told a group of Tea Party activists in Columbus that while Romney has criticized him for accepting earmarks and often cites running the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City as an accomplishment, Romney sought federal assistance for the games.
