for Gingrich to

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) -
Rick Santorum crowed that
yesterday's primary victories in
8 3 Alabama and Mississippi were a
sign that conservatives had not
9 3 4 2 lost their sway in picking the
Republican presidential nomi-
4 5 3 6 nee and urged them to come
together behind his scrappy
challenge to front-runner Mitt
7 5 9 Romney.
Santorum told supporters
9 2 that results in those two states
again showed problems for
T 8Romney, the former Massachu-
I8setts governor who began -
and was likely to end - the day
9 2 leading in delegates and orga-
nization. Santorum aides hoped
1 4 6 7 9 Newt Gingrich's weak showing
in what was once seen as his
51regional stronghold would has-
5 I I 1ten his exit even as they strug-
gled on how to nudge him to end
his effort.
"We did it again," Santorum
said to cheers in Lafayette, La.,
Santorum speaks at his election night party last night in Lafayette, La.
1m tops Romney, sweeps
ippi, Alaba-ma primaries
where he was campaigning
ahead of the state's nominating
contest on March 24.
Santorum planned a late-
evening flight with his family to
Puerto Rico, where he was set to
campaign for two days with an
eye on its Sunday primary. His
quest to find as many delegates
as possible - and as cheaply as
he could - sent him after a share
of the U.S. territory's 23 del-
egates.
"We're going to spend two
days campaigning in Puerto Rico
because we want to make sure
everyone knows we are cam-
paigning everywhere there are
delegates because we are going
to win this nomination before the
convention," Santorum said in a
subtle jab at Gingrich, whose only
two wins so far have been in the
South.
Romney is on pace to reach the
1,144 delegates needed to clinch
the nomination in June. But
Santorum has argued that the
GOP race is not yet over and his
advisers suggest the party could
head to its August nominating
convention without a candidate
with that sum. In that scenar-
io, conservatives may push for
defections and deals that could
potentially yield a Santorum
nomination.
That strategy counts on every-
thing going right for Santorum,
but it was expected to be tough.
Illinois' March 20 primary could
yield Santorum asliceofdelegates
from rural areas, but Romney
was expected to flex his political
muscle there for a victory.
Louisiana follows on March
24 and could be Gingrich's final
effort to win in the South. San-
torum's campaign gets easier if
Gingrich bows out before then,
embarrassed by losing in states
that his aides once declared
must-win contests. Yet Gingrich
told supporters yesterday night
he wasn't quitting.
"We assume that Newt Gin-
grich will become less of a factor
in terms of vote totals in races
after the Louisiana primary, if
not before," Santorum strategist
John Patrick Yob said in a memo.
Santorum's team has had
trouble in how it would publicly
push Gingrich to depart.
Santorum communications
director Hogan Gidley said "we
didn't call on him to get in the
race and we won't call for him
to get out." But press secretary
Alice Stewart, when asked if
it was time for Gingrich to go,
responded, "Absolutely."
"Being a son of the South, he
should be doing much better
than this. But these numbers
just indicate that Rick Santorum
is the conservative in this race,"
Stewart told CNN.
The muddled message did lit-
tle to change Gingrich's embar-
rassment or Romney's continued
strength.
"For someone who thinks this
race is inevitable, he's spent a
whole lot of money against me
for being inevitable," Santorum
said, crediting his supporters
for keeping his ragtag campaign *
afloat despite massive spend-
ing by Romney and his allies on
negative ads.
"Ordinary folks from across
the country defy the odds day in,
day out," he said.
Looking further ahead, Santo-
rum aides say they will compete
for delegates - not necessarily
victories - in New York, Con-
necticut, Rhode Island and Dela-
