The Wall Street Journal's Elizabeth Williamson has by far the most fun story of the day, on how reporters from overseas are covering the U.S. presidential election. You ought to read the whole thing, but the Santorum sections are really the high point for me:

Rick Santorum, who talks of the hardworking Italian grandfather who inspired him, prompted the Italian magazine Oggi to find distant cousins in his ancestral town of Riva del Garda. One of the cugini told the publication that Mr. Santorum's grandfather and uncles were members of Italy's postwar communist party. They were "communists to the core," he said.

Mr. Santorum's spokesman Hogan Gidley declined to comment on the Italian's observation. "You're not writing that he's some kind of socialist, are you?" Mr. Gidley asked. …

[Paris Match] devoted six color pages to the Duggar family, who were on the road in Iowa campaigning for Mr. Santorum.

"This is such an American story—in the French mind," said [bureau chief Olivier] O'Mahony of the Duggars. He reported the story by telephone and during the Iowa caucuses finally met "la famille Duggar"—which stars in a U.S. reality show called "19 Kids and Counting" on TLC.

"I didn't read the story because it was in French or something," Mr. Duggar said. "But he was a very nice gentleman, and our family has a motto: There's always room for one more."
