It's the right thing to do.
The arrogant little puss will refuse to do that.
Much as I like Rick Santorum, it’s time he step aside and call it a day.
He far exceeded expectations, especially with the win in Iowa, but he’s not going to win the nomination.
You had a good run, Rick, but it’s time to take one for what’s left of the “team.”
Santorum needs to put the conservative movement before himself and leave the race and endorse Newt.
I am glad he did real damage to Romney at last nights debate though, and at least he will be able to leave the race on a high note.
At least you’ll be able to say you won Iowa and had the adventure of a lifetime but we do have a country at stake.
This prickly, one issue loser should drop out and endorse the winnable conservative in this race (Newt).
After the way he bashed Newt for telling him (truthfully, it seems) that he had no money or capability to continue, he blew his chance for a Gingrich/Santorum ticket, which would have been great.
Unless -!- he maks a VERY GRACIOUS exit and tosses his endorsement to Newt, hopefully before the vote in Florida.
WRONG!
Santorum was the only real human being at the debate. I think he deserves all our respect and admiration.
Endorse Newt, my eye. Ridiculous. Newt stands for what exactly?
SECOND consecutive loss. He won Iowa.
I heard Santorum on FoxNews this morning say that he was going home for a day or two to gather up his tax forms so they can be released to the public and that he would be RIGHT BACK in Florida as soon as he could after that... that he'd only be gone a day or two.
I know if someone wanted my tax return I'd have to open the safe to get it out so I don't find it unusual or a sign of a bankrupt campaign that he is going home to get his tax documents.
Of course the article COULD be accurate, but considering the source I'm VERY skeptical that it is.
As much as I like Rick and think he would be a better man for the job, Its time for him to pull out.
Maybe a Newt/Rick ticket is in order. Both are the smartest the party has and could be a Obama beater.
Santorum was good last night — the only adult on stage, basically. He’s my favorite. But since he has no chance, maybe he can cut a deal with Newt - endorse Newt in exchange for VP position. That would give him OJT for 4-8 years to be a very viable candidate later.
I hate Newt. I hate Romney. I laugh at Paul. Still, all are better than Hussein, whom I DESPISE!!
He can be a hero to the Conservative movement or a selfish villain. This will tell what he is made of.
Pray for America
Geesh, it has only been 12 hours since Rick said “I’ll stay and campaign in Florida through Monday.” I wonder what changed his mind overnight? Did a major donor pull out?
If Santorum drops out, I doubt he will make an endorsement.
I also wouldn’t be all that sure his 12% would go to Newt.
So why press him about dropping out?
Problem we have is that the two frontrunners share some of the same flaws. When they go after each other it only magnifies what those flaws are.
What a mess.
Why would any conservative ever want this guy on the ticket?
Why would any Republican want this guy?
Rick Santorum lost his home state in a landslide. This guy would not even be able to deliver Pennsylvania in 2012. Rick Santorum is not only a loser, he is a BIG loser. He lost re-election in Pennsylvania by 20 points! If a 20 point loser is your best hope, then you are in trouble.
Get out now, Rick. Have the courage that Perry has and put your country before yourself!
It’s not going to happen.
“He pledged to continue his campaign regardless of the Florida outcome.”
Santorum is in this for himself, his sweater vests, and referring to himself as “we.”
Actually, Rick Santorum won the crucial debate last night, making both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney look small and petty for their continuing childish bickering against each other!!! I could care less about what Newt or Mitt did in the past!!! It means nothing!!! Why should Santorum withdraw??? Both Gingrich & Romney are making fools and butt heads out of themselves, while allowing “America Hater/Destroyer” Obama to lie, without serious challenge, unfettered!!! Our country is at stake, as is the future of our children and grandchildren!!! I want “our” candidate for POTUS that does nothing but beating the living daylight out of “Destroy America” Obama and his “dirt bag” Democrat Party!!! So...IMHO, Santorum should hang in there, at least until the other two “Idiots” come to their senses and get inot the real world!!!
This advice for Florida Republican Primarty voters. Please.....turnout and vote on Primary Day next Tuesday in Florida. Who you cast your ballots for, matters not a hoot to me, be it, Gingrich, Romney, Santroum or Paul. Believe me, it is your voting that counts!!! In 2008, you turned out to vote to the tune of 1.9 million voters. Please make that number this year between at least 2.5-3.0 millions votes, if not more (Four Million Eligible Primary Voters)!!! THANKS!!!
What a BS “news” article! It sounds like it was written by a member of GOProud. It claims he is broke in the title then says almost broke. It claims he is heading home but then admits he is coming right back. It claims he lost 3 states in a row when he actually won Iowa. It claims he is way back in the polls in Florida but does not mention the latest NBC poll out this morning showing him pulling ahead of Paul and only 10 points behind Romney. Poll also shows he does better head to head against Obama in Florida than Newt does.
I have a feeling this “reporter” is the type who throws glitter on conservatives and licks their doorknobs to try and get them sick.
