Rick Santorum abruptly suspended his White House campaign Tuesday, clearing the way for front-runner Mitt Romney to claim the Republican presidential nomination.
Mr. Santorum announced the suspension at a news conference Tuesday afternoon, saying he had made the decision over the weekend with his family. Mr. Santorum significantly lagged Mr. Romney in the nominating contest and faced an increasingly difficult 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 Isabella Maria, who is known as Bella, was released from the hospital after contracting pneumonia. Bella has a rare, chromosomal disorder that can make such illnesses life-threatening.

NEWT is still in! Comments from NYT:
I am sorry that Santorum has dropped out as, like no other Republican, he proudly exemplified the intolerance and hatred that lies at the heart of the Republican party in a way that was clear for everyone to see. Now with a clear run in sight, Mitt-a-sketch will again pivot his positions like a windmill to create a seemingly reasonable face for the Republican Party. Thanks Rick for showing us what you really are and what your party really stands for.

Its disappointing to find such a large slice of people who don't want to improve themselves, who don't want to cooperate with others no matter what...that unless you are exactly like them, you are an outsider and worthy of verbal and physical abuse.
And instead of appealing to the better angels of those people, Santorum attempted to appeal to their darker halves.

After Santorum's announcement, many were commenting that he made no mention of Romney, much less supporting him - evidently according to his campaign manager, when asked, he wouldn't say if Santorum will support Romney. Then, it was reported that Santorum had been counting on Gingrich releasing his delegates to Santorum, but didn't happen. Maybe Santorum will now release his delegates to Newt? Hmmm. Interesting concept.
