As Rick Santorum makes campaign stops in Idaho, two of the Gem State’s top Republican lawmakers stump for Mitt Romney.

Sen. Jim Risch and Governor Butch Otter say the presidential race comes down to straightening out the economy.

“He knows and he understands job creation,” Risch says.  “What the government’s role is in that, what the government can and can’t do, and I’m very, very comfortable with that.”

Two new polls show frontrunners Romney and Santorum are virtually tied.

Santorum is speaking at a Coeur d’Alene resort right now and will be at Capital High in Boise tonight at 7 pm.

Mitt Romney’s campaign just announced a public rally on Friday in Boise at Guerdon Enterprises, a modular building manufacturer, at 1:30 p.m
