Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul are trailing. All eyes now turn to Illinois which holds its primary on Tuesday. Full coverage right here on CNN starting at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday night. Rick Santorum made multiple campaign stops in Illinois over the weekend and he even told one audience a victory could propel him to the Republican nomination. Earlier today, Candy Crowley interviewed Santorum on CNN's "STATE OF THE UNION" and she asked him about his strong criticism of the president's policy towards Iran as well as an entry on his campaign Web site pledging a crack down on corn.
[Candy Crowley, Cnn Host, State On The Union:] Something that's been on your Web site that's gotten a lost buzz. And it's your position on pornography. One of the things you say in promising a tougher crackdown on pornography is that quote "the Obama department of justice seems to favor pornographers over children and families." I just need to ask you to back that up. Do you honestly believe there people at the department of justice who favor pornographers over children and families? Do you believe that?
[Santorum:] You have to look at the proof is in the prosecution. Under the Bush administration, pornographers were prosecuted much more rigorously than they are under existing law than they are under the Obama administration. So, you draw your conclusion.
[Crowley:] But, what's your conclusion?
[Santorum:] Whether the administration has not put a priority my conclusion is they have not put a priority on prosecuting the cases. And in doing so, they are exposing children to tremendous amount of harm. And that to me said they are putting the un- enforcement of this law and putting children at risk as a result of that.
[Crowley:] I want to play for the listeners something that you said at a rally last night. This was in Mt. Vernon, Illinois, talking about the president.
[Santorum:] We're need a president who will go out and person to nominees can go out and draw clear contrasts between President Obama and his failed policies at home and of course his failed policies where he has been the weak horse, the appeaser in chief around the world. With evil.
[Crowley:] Appeaser in chief around the world with evil. Where is a for instance for that for our listeners? Where do you think he is an appeaser with evil?
[Santorum:] Iran is the principal place. That is the principal problem we are facing on the national security front. A nuclear Iran. And he has repeatedly sided with the government of Iran in the green revolution in 2009 when people were pleading on the streets holding signs of asking President Obama to help overthrow this theocracy that's develop in a nuclear weapon that is killing our men and women in uniform with improvised explosive devices made in Iran that is attacking American troops through their surrogates and terrorist organizations. And yet, we had an opportunity over thrown
[Crowley:] There's new sanctions coming up. He gathered world opinion. Isn't that better than, you know, going in with troops or whatever what is it you are suggesting he should have been doing?
[Santorum:] Well, first off, he should have been aligning himself with the Persian people and the pro democracy movement in Iran to topple this regime, this radical theocracy that is developing a nuclear weapon and spreading terror around the world. And he did not do that. And here he said, you know, I'm going to impose tough sanctions after he denied that and tried to stop the sanctions from going into place. Only his own party got him in the Senate and the house. Got him kicking and screaming to impose impose the sanctions. And what has he done since then? There's U.N. resolutions to say there will be no negotiation with the Iranians until they stop processing the nuclear material and what did the president do? He overstep those things. He ignored that precondition and he is now been negotiating directly with Iran as Iran continue to develop nuclear weapons. He is buying time and doing exactly what the Iranians want to do. This is the weak horse that is in this region and the Israeli people, Benjamin Netanyahu came to this country and said Mr. President, time is up. We need your help. And he, the very next day, he started negotiating with Iran without preconditions and allowing them the opportunity to continue to develop nuclear weapons. That is weakness.
