FARGO, N.D. — Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum is telling hundreds of supporters in North Dakota's largest city that the state's March caucus will play a key role in the primary.
Santorum began Wednesday walking through an oil field in western North Dakota and ended it with a rally in Fargo. He told the crowd in Fargo that North Dakota has more delegates than many larger states and gets "more bang for its buck."
Santorum wrapped up his 80-minute speech by holding up jerseys from the state's two major universities, including a University of North Dakota hockey jersey with the controversial Fighting Sioux logo. Residents will vote in June whether to restore a state law requiring UND to keep the logo.
Said Santorum: "I kind of like that logo. What do you think?"
