"Hold the candidates accountable to the intractable problem of exploding government." Bob Vander Plaats, who heads the conservative Family Leader and endorsed Santorum, said the result have a clear impact. "It means we have a true pro-family conservative to go one on one with Mitt Romney," he said.
