Primary season is well underway, but the GOP presidential candidates are just getting started. A few of them took to Sunday shows to talk strategy. Rick Santorum told Fox News Sunday, despite a fourth-place finish in Nevada, the race is far from over for his campaign.

“We think we can do exceptionally well in the state of Missouri. So, we’ve got three states coming up on Tuesday and I think we’re going to show that this race is moving, again, in a very different direction.”

Santorum didn’t stop there. He criticized Mitt Romney, saying a business background isn’t a prerequisite for the presidency -- adding, the job as president is very different from a job as a CEO.

“I don’t believe the president runs the economy....the president of the United States is a commander-in-chief. The president of the United States executes the laws and tries to motivate the American public to make changes that are necessary. That’s not necessarily a CEO-type of position.”

Newt Gingrich seized an opportunity Sunday on "Meet the Press" to talk about his campaign’s plans going forward -- saying he still considers himself a very close second to Romney.

“Our goal is to get to Super Tuesday where we’re in much more favorable territory FLASH We believe by the time Texas is over, we’ll be very, very competitive in delegate count. And I think, the key to this from my standpoint is to make this a choice campaign.”

But, former House Majority Leader Dick Armey told CNN’s “State of the Union,” Gingrich’s time is about up.

“I don’t think Newt will be able to replicate that magic moment he had in South Carolina. FLASH I think he’s played that thing out. In the mean time, Mitt continues to work along, the governor continues to work along, at a steady pace and we are left with a dilemma that we are not going to get a reliable small government conservative.”  

But, Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told Candy Crowley, evangelical voters are just looking for a realistic candidate -- not one with unattainable goals.

“We’re not looking for a candidate who can walk on water. We’re looking for a candidate who doesn’t sink under the weight of their own baggage -- both past and present political positions.”

On ABC’s “This Week,” Ron Paul noted, even though there’s been a lot of political infighting among GOP candidates, he doesn’t believe it has derailed their messages. Paul said he believes in the revolution brewing among the nation’s younger voters.

“There’s a different understanding now. There’s a lot more people talking about free market economics rather than Keynesian welfarism and interventionism … there is an intellectual revolution going on among the young people and there are people who have sat on the sidelines for years.”

On current events, Senator Santorum didn’t hold back his opinion of the recent controversy between the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation and Planned Parenthood.

“I don’t believe breast cancer research is advanced by funding an organization that does abortions where you’ve seen ties to cancer and abortions...but that’s for a private organization like Susan G. Komen to make that decision.”

He went on to discuss President Obama’s decision mandating Catholic institutions to provide health insurance that includes contraception.

“This is the problem when government tells you that they can give you things. They can take it away, but even worse they can tell you how you’re going to exercise this new right that they’ve given you consistent with their values instead of the values guaranteed in our constitution.”

Candidates are preparing for the coming week’s primaries which include Missouri, Colorado, and Minnesota
