While Mitt Romney and his super PAC go on air in Illinois, Rick Santorum’s super PAC is on air in Louisiana. The Red, White and Blue Fund is airing an ad attacking President Obama on energy. 

Via MSNBC:

“Under Barack Obama, America is spending $314 billion a year on foreign oil funding radicals with bad intentions, causing pump prices to rise drastically,” the narrator says.

 

The narrator continues by detailing Santorum’s plan: “Develop domestic resources, utilize natural gas and power generation and transportation, open drilling and build pipelines to lower costs, create jobs, secure jobs.”

A new poll Monday put Santorum 4 points ahead of Mitt Romney in Louisiana, the same margin by which Romney leads Santorum in Illinois. Gingrich is just 5 points behind Santorum. The pro-Santorum buy is worth $250,000. Louisiana’s primary is on March 24.
