Claim: Mitt Romney has put the brakes on a TV ad attacking Rick Santorum — one that highlights the blistering defeat the former Pennsylvania senator suffered in his 2006 reelection bid — as Santorum spends time with his ailing daughter. But with Santorum's people announcing plans to head back to the campaign trail, expect the ad running in Santorum's home state to resume as well. The ad reminds Pennsylvanians of the trouncing Santorum got in his last election in 2006.
