Portraying himself as a native son of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio, Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum emphasized his heritage as the grandson of a coal miner and railed against environmental regulations that have diminished the coal industry in the region.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we need someone who understands, who comes from the coal fields, who comes from the steel mills, who understands what average working people in America need to be able to provide for themselves and their families," Santorum said.
Santorum's claim to have come "from the coal fields" is a stretch - by two generations.
He has never worked in a coal mine. His parents' professions were psychologist and nurse, and Santorum is a lawyer who has spent all of his adult life in politics.
