Today, Rick Santorum said that the Republican presidential race is a "three person race". He believes that he is the better Republican going against President Obama rather than fellow candidates, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. During the interview with CNN's State of the Union, he stated that "the real conservative has yet to emerge -- and that's me". Santorum was declared the winner on of the Iowa caucuses on Saturday.

 "In their opinion, and in mine, that's not a choice between a conservative and a moderate," Santorum said. "It's a choice between a moderate and an erratic conservative, someone who on a lot of the major issues has been just wrong."

 Santorum, the Iowa winner, noted that South Carolina is in Gingrich's "backyard" because he is from neighboring Georgia; he also pointed out that Romney won the primary in his neighboring state, New Hampshire.
