As somebody who has often written &#8220;Las Vegan&#8221; when I meant to write &#8220;Las Vegas,&#8221; I sympathize.

Rick Santorum &#8212; locked in a bitter battle with rival Mitt Romney over the states of Michigan and Arizona, which vote on Tuesday &#8212; has been beaten up quite after a 2008 speech surfaced in which Santorum claimed Satan was attacking America.

Dean Heller try to defeat Rep. Shelley Berkley in one of the marquee races of the cycle.
