The Huffington Post reports as his lead in the polls slips ahead of Tuesday's crucial primary election in Michigan, Rick Santorum is ratcheting up his attacks on Mitt Romney in an attempt to regain momentum in the Republican presidential primary.
Santorum is unloading on Romney, focusing his energy Friday on delivering blistering attacks in appearances on conservative media outlets. Before noon, he had already gone on Laura Ingraham's radio program to launch his broadsides.
Santorum is counterattacking on the "team" theme that has dominated the news cycle since Wednesday night's debate. Santorum got banged up when he said that it was "a mistake" to have supported President George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind federal education law, but that "when you're part of the team, sometimes you take one for the team."
Romney pounced on Thursday, saying that Santorum's team was "insiders in Washington" while his team was "the American people."
Santorum's disgust with this is evident in his response, which was provided to The Huffington Post by the Santorum campaign.
"Mitt Romney has criticized me for taking one for the Republican team and we all know why, because Mitt Romney’s teammates are all Democrats," Santorum said in an emailed statement. "It's pretty clear what team Mitt Romney is on when he passed socialized medicine that included $50 dollar abortions -- bragged about not lining up with the NRA -- appointed liberal activist judges to the Massachusetts bench, and was hanging out at Planned Parenthood events celebrating the pro–choice agenda."
