>> presidential race and the comment by rick santorum drawing heat from president obama 's campaign. nbc's peter alexander is in salt lake city , utah, with details. peter, good morning.
>> reporter: good morning. president obama 's re-election team has largely focused attention on mitt romney . but increasingly it's turning an eye to rick santorum , the latest example, a sharp back and forth after santorum appeared to question the president's faith. facing a surge of scrutiny to go with his surging poll numbers, rick santorum is trying to define himself before his opponents can make their attacks stick.
>> someone who can clearly go after president obama on issue after issue, draw clear bright contrasts, make him accountable.
>> reporter: but first, santorum is trying to clarify this comment questioning the values behind president obama 's energy policy .
>> it's about some phony ideal, some phony theology. oh, not a theology based on the bible. a different theology. but no less a theology.
>> reporter: the obama campaign blasted the remarks as well over the line.
>> it's just time to get rid of this mindset in our politics that if we disagree we have to question character and faith.
>> reporter: on sunday, santorum argued he wasn't criticizing the president's faith, but his world view .
>> uh i have repeatedly said i don't question the president's faith. i believe he's christian, he says he's christian. but i'm talking about his world view or the way he approaches problems in this country. they are different than how most people do in america.
>> reporter: santorum is reviewing another hot button issue arguing the health care overhaul rerequiring insurers to pay for prenatal testing leads to abortion.
>> a lot of deformities are dealt with in utero and the customary way is to have abortion.
>> reporter: mitt romney basking in the glow of the tenth anniversary of the salt lake city olympics he helped rescue faced another distraction this weekend. his arizona cochair resigned from the campaign after allegations of misconduct with a man with which he had a relationship. he denied he tried to deport his ex-boyfriend if the man revealed his relationship.
>> all these allegations in one of these newspapers are absolutely, completely false except for the issues that refer to me as being gay.
>> reporter: all four of the republican candidates will be together wednesday for their next debate. arizona and michigan vote a week from tomorrow. there is growing concern among top republican leaders that if mitt romney cannot win michigan where he was born and raised, the republican party may need to recruit another candidate. carl?
>> peter alexander in salt lake city . thanks.
