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.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum
.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.

If we're honest, we're screwed either way. I know for sure Obama will do nothing to help the economy. I'm fairly certain Romney won't as well.

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.

the real good hair couldn't make it. Perry. He rocks.

I checked the math and Obama started his 62 months ago.

mikepegg44

the republican primary isn't over until the delegates are counted at the convention or only one person is running. Considering this thing has gone on for damn near a year, what happens two months from now is anyone's guess...

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

This thing has been over since the day it started. It was never going to be anyone but Romney. And the next guy is going to be the same as the current guy. Write it down.

Just got this email last night. I understand the numbers start when BHO takes office but its always fun to see how numbers can drive a point home.

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.

You dillusional if you don't believe that the war on women was started by your GOP ....

jimc3

please, there is no "war on women" from either side. White House was wrong to start this, Romney camp was wrong to try to flip it back on them. every non-evil human values women.

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.

"We need a president who will stand up for the rights of hunters, sportsmen and those who seek to protect their home and family," Romney said. "President Obama has not; I will."
