Rick Santorum Suspending Campaign

(CNN)Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is ending his presidential bid, two Republican sources told CNN.
He is expected to make the announcement Wednesday night and will endorse a candidate.
Santorum won the 2012 Iowa caucuses and ended that race with the second-most number of delegates to eventually GOP nominee Mitt Romney. But he was unable to capture any momentum this year, despite extensive barnstorming efforts in Iowa.
He is the third Republican presidential candidate to drop out after Monday’s caucuses. Mike Huckabee ended his campaign that night, and Rand Paul suspended his campaign Wednesday morning.
As Jim Geraghty notes, Gilmore beat you and me by 12 votes and we’re not even running. (Unless someone wrote in our names.)
So clearly the momentum is building.

Santorum is not really dropping out … merely going home to pick up a clean sweater vest.
Why do you hate Harold Stassen?
I am happy to hear that Santorum has endorsed Rubio, who as Santorum said holds his values, as one who will help
the middle class workers without college degreesthe working stiff and stand up for religious freedom and traditional family values.
