The Presidency and the Press

 

Presidential candidate and former senator Rick Santorum spoke to student reporters of the Presidency and the Press conference today at his New Hampshire headquarters in Manchester.

With an audience of about thirty young journalists, Santorum gave a short speech that outlined his campaign plan before answering questions from the group.

During his opening speech, Santorum compared his campaign to “the little engine that could” because he plans to consistently work hard throughout the campaign.  Santorum said, “You learn from [obstacles] and take lessons to make you a better candidate.”

When addressing his poll numbers, Santorum responded by confidently stating his plan to bring a strong campaign to the presidential primary race for the Republican nomination.

“We’re building a base, a solid foundation…the super-structure starts to go up around caucuses and primaries.  The result will be a very strong force to take back to the White House,” said Santorum.

Santorum addressed his campaign to the media that were present, and his next challenge will be to convey that message to the people of New Hampshire.
