*Meanwhile, Republican Presidential candidate hopeful Mitt Romney has come out against same gender unions, claiming that is part of what's wrong with America and the Democratic Party.
*Rick Santorum, who is no longer in the contest for the GOP nomination, has officially endorsed Romney's bid, despite the fact that although the front runner, he still does not officially have the minimum number of delegates needed to secure the position.
