Rick Santorum made a final appeal for Georgia votes Thursday before flying out to Washington state to campaign there.

The former Pennsylvania senator's final stop was DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, which his campaign temporarily transformed into Santorum Country for an audience of about 200 people.

"Even though we're being outspent, we're still doing well," Santorum said. "Why? Because we stand for a positive vision for the country.

"We need someone who can stand up and say we have a candidate who throughout their career who has not only checked the box on conservative issues, but has fought for conservative issues."

Do you agree with Santorum's conservative vision?
