Romney & the establishment have made it plain how much they dislike Santorum. He wouldn’t touch Santorum with a 50 foot pole.

This debate pull-out is just too orchestrated. Why else would Santorum drop out if there isn't a promise for him down the road?

I missed that hate fest, the best I can tell is that Santorum loves Romney, Romney loves Santorum (both within the strains of having to run against each other at this moment), and that Santorum is the second choice, or beard for the open and hidden, Romney supporters.
