BOWLING GREEN, OH -

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum will add northwest Ohio to his state campaigning.

GOP officials say Santorum will speak March 3 at the Lincoln-Reagan Day dinner for the 5th House district. They say all Republican presidential candidates have been invited to the dinner at Bowling Green State University's student union.

Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist is the keynote speaker for the dinner.

Last weekend, Santorum had campaign stops in Columbus, and in cities in the southwest, northeastern, eastern and southern Appalachian sections of Ohio.

Polls have indicated the former Pennsylvania senator has been picking up support in Ohio, where former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich have also made campaign swings this month. Ohio has 66 delegates March 6, second-most among 10 "Super Tuesday" states.
