I think he is making the right move, doing what is best for the party.

He's probably still available for VP.

His message of intolerance resonates with some Republicans.

>>He's probably still available for VP

No way. Obama is pushing hard for the female vote, and they may determine the election. Santorum on the ticket will push them right into Obama's hands.

Palin?

The republican nomination just got a whole lot duller.

Go Ron Paul!

OK, so it's Romney-Obama, with Obama winning.

"The father of seven children, Santorum's decision to quit was partly influenced by a serious illness suffered by his 3-year-old daughter, Bella. She was hospitalized over the long holiday weekend with Trisomy 18, a rare genetic condition that hinders a child's development."

"the total number of live births [in the UK] is estimated to be 37 (2008/09 data are provisional). Major causes of death include apnea and heart abnormalities. It is impossible to predict an exact prognosis during pregnancy or the neonatal period.[7] Half of infants with this condition do not survive beyond the first week of life.[10] The median lifespan is 5–15 days.[11][12] About 8% of infants survive longer than 1 year,[13] One percent of children live to age 10, typically in less severe cases of the mosaic Edwards syndrome.[7]

"It is impossible to predict an exact prognosis during pregnancy or the neonatal period."

This is irrelevant in Santorums' case -- I doubt they'd decide for an abortion.

Is he allowed to abort his campaign after 14 weeks? Surely he should forced to carry it to term.

Good one, el.
