DeWine said he had been sup- porting Mitt Romney, but he has decided that Romney cannot win in the fall. Now, he believes Santorum has the passion to beat President Barack Obama as the GOP nominee, he said. “People like him, he’s real … what you see is what you get. I truly believe he is the man to lead our party to victory,” DeWine said. Santorum recently won pri- maries in Missouri, Colorado and Minnesota, and now he is leading in some polls. He was met enthu- siastically in Michigan and Ohio on Friday and Saturday, according to reports. Appearing at Georgetown’s Ele- mentary school auditorium full of enthusiast Republicans, Santorum spoke on subjects that southern Ohioans seem concerned about – the poor economy, lack of jobs, taxes, health care, military de- fense, God and the constitution.

In their warnings, both the chairman of the U.S. joint chiefs of staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, and British Foreign Secretary William Hague said an Israeli attack on Iran would have grave conse- quences for the entire region and urged Israel to give international sanctions against Tehran more time to work. Dempsey said an Israeli attack is “not prudent,” and Hague said it would not be “a wise thing.” It was not known whether their mes- sages were coordinated.

Police talked with local authori- ties about professors 300 miles away in Buffalo and even sent an undercover agent on a whitewater rafting trip, where he recorded stu- dents’ names and noted in police intelligence files how many times they prayed. Detectives trawled Muslim stu- dent websites every day and, al- though professors and students had not been accused of any wrongdo- ing, their names were recorded in reports prepared for Police Com- missioner Raymond Kelly.
