Santorum Throws in the Etch-A-Sketch, Suspends His Presidential Campaign

Rick Santorum has finally wizened up to the fact that there was no way he could win this primary.

He dropped out today before he suffered an embarrassing loss in his home state of Pennsylvania on April 24th.

This leaves the financially broken Newt Gingrich and the delegate-starved Ron Paul still in the race.

Story from the New York Slimes:

2:51 p.m. | Updated Rick Santorum suspended his presidential campaign on Tuesday, bowing to the inevitability of Mitt Romney’s nomination and ending his improbable, come-from-behind quest to become the party’s conservative standard-bearer in the fall.

“We made a decision over the weekend, that while this presidential race for us is over, for me, and we will suspend our campaign today, we are not done fighting,” Mr. Santorum said.
