Santorum woos the wealthy in Westlake
WESTLAKE -- Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum swept through North Texas on Thursday -- for the second time in two weeks -- energizing local voters and adding to his campaign war chest.
Santorum, who is competing with Mitt Romney for front-runner status in the GOP race, spoke to a group of supporters during a private fundraiser in the gated community of Vaquero, one of the most high-end neighborhoods in the country.
The appearance came just days before crucial primaries in Arizona and Michigan on Tuesday.
Campaign officials declined to say how much money was raised at the event -- which was to benefit The Red, White and Blue Fund, a pro-Santorum super political action committee -- but the cost to attend was $2,500 per person.

In 2008 Obama won all the other large cities/counties here in Texas: Dallas, Austin/Travis, Houston/Harris, El Paso, San Antonio, etc.
We Texans gave Obama OVER 3.5 MILLION votes here in Texas.
I guess we can give Santorum Ft. Worth this time around BUT that is all that the GOPers are going to get !!!
p.s. My EX was born in Dallas, grew up in Grapevine, and has family in Westlake - as far as I'm concerned if a big comet were to hit earth my wish would be that it would hit Westlake on the day that he was there visiting with his family
