Really, really sad, Lazlo. Thanks for all you did on the Rick ping list. I’m seriously near tears.
Whatever his reasoning, the symbolism of the place it is to take place could not in itself speak more signification in regard to theses united States.
There the tide turned against self-government 150 years ago. There the fate of freedom was lost to the false promises of an evil empire. There it was decided that men would be made subjects to a central government, rather than governments subject to the consent of men.
So sad. Thank you, Lazlo, for the Santorum pings. They always brightened my day! : )
I doubt he would have entered the presidential stakes at all if he thought he could not cope with her health issues and run the country as well.
Hope Bella beats the odds and grows up to enjoy her life.
More likely he is dropping out because of his poor showing in the primaries.
I think a lot of conservatives will demand some money before doing grassroots work for Romney. The RINO East Coast PR Firms that lost the McCain Election shouldn’t get all the money since it was grassroots that won the 2010 elections.
Is he Out or suspend?
I want to say a huge “thank you” to Lazlo in PA and Antoninus, who maintained the Santorum for President Ping List, and all my fellow steadfast Santorum supporters, for all your incredible posts and patriotic spirit. It was an honor to serve the cause with you. It was so great to get to know you wonderful people, and share a common vision - Rick’s vision, the Founder’s vision, Reagan’s vision - with each other.
Love to all, and let’s keep fighting for life, liberty, and small government controlled by We The People.
Lazlo, my heart-felt condolences. I had hoped to see this go to convention. May I offer a redirection for you and your thread followers?
Check out my new campaign:

I hope all is well with Bella.
This is obviously awful news for many of us.
Unless somebody can figure out how to get Newt Gingrich to the point that he wins three more states to meet the five-state threshold to put his name into nomination, this primary is over.
Tomorrow's another day. Let's hope we have better news from the Gingrich campaign soon. Is there a Gingrich ping list?
Sad thing to hear. He’s a good man...and he loves this country.
Understand it completely if its because of his babygirl. A man has to take care of his family.
Thanks for fighting for us, Rick.
No. There needs to be at least ONE MORE.
IMPLORE RICK TO THROW HIS SUPPORT BEHIND NEWT:

Wow....what a shock-a-roonie. No one could have predicted that would happen./s
Newt is now,and still, the strongest horse in this race.
Now, conservatives, are you going to fight for Newt, or are you just going to just sit there and complain about Romney being the inevitable nominee?
Newt is going to Tampa, and I aim to help him get there.
It is a slim chance. but there is still a chance to fight Willard.
The next weeks could be very enlightening for the conservative base - to see where the people in the conservative media land.. will they support Newt now or romney? And all the so-called conservatives - supporting Santorum - will they go to Newt or romney..
I plan to get my scorecard out. It's put up or shut up time, and I am prepared for much disillusionment.
The convention is almost exactly 20 weeks away. We are on the banks of the Delaware today. Screw up your courage and get on board for Newt!

Kudos to all of you who supported Rick Santorum so strongly. You are the wise people. Wish there were more like you.
I have had it up to here with the name calling of Rick Santorum....
YOU have turned me against Newt FOREVER!
When I am crying, you will be laughing.
ENJOY YOUR LAUGH!
I just wrote a post in anger............but I have lost all hope for this election today.....
..unless God changes things, and He could.
Until then, I press on.
I believe Rick said that Bella was home now, having passed her crisis this time. Her illness is genetic and relative to a healthy baby, she had been frequently hospitalized before he entered the race.
Thank you for the regular pings. This is a sad day.
