Rick Santorum downplayed expectations that he could win the Mississippi and Alabama primaries on Tuesday, saying of the two Deep South states: “I’m in Newt’s backyard.” 

“It’s pretty tough battleground down there,” said Santorum, who also played up the idea that Mitt Romney has an advantage due to “establishment” backing. But, he said, “We’re out there running the insurgent campaign” and are within “striking distance.”
