GETTYSBURG, Pa.—Rick Santorum abruptly suspended his White House campaign Tuesday, clearing the way for front-runner Mitt Romney to claim the Republican presidential nomination.
The former Pennsylvania senator made the announcement at a news conference Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Santorum significantly lagged Mr. Romney in the nominating contest and faced an increasingly hard challenge in winning the GOP primary in his home state of Pennsylvania, which votes later this month.

.The announcement came a day after Mr. Santorum's 3-year-old daughter Bella was released from the hospital after contracting pneumonia. Bella Santorum has a rare, chromosomal disorder that can make such illnesses life-threatening.
Mr. Santorum was the last viable challenger to Mr. Romney, and his decision to exit the race marks the unofficial end of the Republicans' months-long, highly combative primary. Mr. Romney has yet to gather the 1,144 convention delegates needed to win the nomination, but it is unlikely that the remaining challengers, Newt Gingrich and Rep. Ron Paul, can prevent him from doing so.
Despite the long odds facing his campaign, Mr. Santorum had promised to stay in the race until Pennsylvania's April 24th primary, but polls show his support in the state sagging, and Mr. Romney promised to outspend him significantly on television ads in the state.
Until his exit from the field, Mr. Santorum had claimed the mantle as the top conservative alternative to Mr. Romney.
time to fight for the America we love.
How many trillion dollar deficits before Obama (220 years)= zero
how many trillion dollar deficits with Obama---4 trillion.

Sometimes I wonder why I even care. It doesn't really matter which puppet we have in there. At the end of the day, they're still puppets. One has a teleprompter, the other has a good hair. That's pretty much it.

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
I think he still has to win a fair amount of the delegates from here on out to get the nomination locked up prior to the convention...Now that the mainstream media is going to be reporting it is Romney, that may lessen the amount of people showing up at the polls...and we all know Ron Paul was going to have the same amount show up no matter what, so that may mean a higher percentage for him than he would have normally gotten. With Gingrich still in just to stick it to Romney, he will probably siphon a few too...this thing still isn't over...and unfortunately if it remains close we won't get an accurate picture until the ballots are cast at the convention.
Remember...Santorum's delegates are not legally bound to support whoever he endorses, although the MSM will report as so...I believe most are now free to vote their conscience assuming he stays out of the race...I think it will still be an interesting convention. Although there is certainly a greater chance that Romney has enough actual delegates to win before the convention. I just cannot give up hope that easily

President Obama is right.
He has spent the last few weeks talking about a "war on women" that is taking place across America. We agree there's been a war on women.
More women have struggled to find work under President Obama's watch than at any time in recorded history. We hear far too little about it, but women have been among the hardest hit by the Obama economy.
Women account for 92% of all job losses since Barack Obama took office. Yes, you read that right. Don't be fooled -- this is the real war on women. Check out these stunning facts about women and the Obama economy in the image below. (see link)
American women deserve better -- much better.
Thanks.

what happened to the whole post-Gabby Giffords "let's tone down the violent rhetoric"? a WAR on women? seriously?
this is all just talking points babble to win the invented battle of the day in the never-ending 24hr cable news cycle.
hopefully soon everyone will start to talk about real issues.
these proposed laws are real. they are not made up. if they were made up they would not be being fucking enacted in arizona and mississippi and tennessee.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
i am asking you to provide us with 4 specific examples of this. since romney could not do it, can you?
either romney has information that the rest of us don't have, or he is fucking lying to a group of people who are so stupid that they believe him without question, or they are too lazy to look into it themselves. either way, he is pandering and distorting the truth.. in this case the most logical explanation is probably the right one, and that is he is fucking outright LYING.....
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
"If we are going to safeguard our Second Amendment, it is time to elect a president who will defend the rights President Obama ignores or minimizes," Romney added. "And I will protect the Second Amendment rights of the American people."
Democrats shot back at Romney before his speech was even delivered.
“The president's record makes clear the he supports and respects the second amendment, and we'll fight back against any attempts to mislead voters. Mitt Romney is going to have difficulty explaining why he quadrupled fees on gun owners in Massachusetts then lied about being a lifelong hunter in an act of shameless pandering," Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said in a statement this morning. "That varmint won't hunt.”
Romney's history with second amendment and gun-ownership issues is a colorful one, from saying "I don't line up with the NRA," during his 1994 senate campaign, to being forced to backtrack on his skill as a hunter in 2008, ultimately admitting he only shot "small varmints." This campaign cycle, Romney has laughed about his lack of skill as a hunter, including with comedian Jeff Foxworthy in Alabama, whom he joked could help him figure out which end of the rifle to point.
The Republican frontrunner's speech also came, though, at one of the biggest recent flashpoints for gun rights in recent memory. The Trayvon Martin shooting in Florida has sparked nationwide coverage of "stand your ground" laws -- the self-defense law under which George Zimmerman, the man charged with second degree murder in Martin's death, is mounting his criminal defense.
Romney didn't address those laws in his speech, though his campaign said in a briefing with reporters on Friday morning that the former Massachusetts governor would defer to states to determine their own laws on that matter.

interesting. he only said "gun" once, and did not even address the trayvon martin case and stand your ground laws...he can not take a firm position on that, so he is obviously pandering and whoring himself out. just look at his inconsistent past on gun rights... :roll:
he talked about freedom in general, pandering to the simpletons in the audience...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
You're on a roll, gimmie. Keep asking for specifics. I'm still waiting on a list of burdensome regulations that the Obama administration has imposed on small businesses and corporations.

Imagine if one of the five justices who sided with the Second Amendment in the Heller or McDonald cases were to retire in the next four years. The likelihood of that happening is good, and we know that Barack Obama would replace him or her with a nominee who believes, just like Justice Ginsburg, that you and I don't actually have the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
This is what's at stake in this year's elections. Will we have a president who believes that our Constitution is nothing more than an old piece of paper that should be discarded or ignored when he sees fit? Not if the NRA has anything to say about it. We've been fighting for our Second Amendment rights since 1871, but never has there been a more critical time for our firearm freedoms. The danger is real, the stakes are immense, and the task won't be easy. Together, however, I know NRA members will go "All In" this election season to deny Obama the opportunity to nominate any more anti-gun judges to the nation's high court.
"The Obama administration's assault on our economic freedom is the principal reason why the recovery has been so tepid -- why it couldn't meet their projections, let alone our expectations," Romney said.
