Political Checklist: Two-man Race in Illinois

Monday's NewsHour Political Checklist was all about how it's starting to feel like a two-man race.

Political editor Christina Bellantoni chatted with senior correspondent Judy Woodruff about Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum's battle for Illinois. There's a lot at stake, which is one reason Romney has invested so heavily in this race.

Judy also noted that Romney is pulling out his secret weapon: Ann Romney.
