3:08 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.
This can only mean that once he's out, he's basically transferring a large swath of support to Romney, who is the planned nominee to face Obama.
I was thinking that they would let all four candidates would scuffle to the end and turn it into a brokered convention, but this throws the chances of that happening out the window. Now they're putting Romney at full speed ahead (all the MSM are reporting about Romney is that he is the nominee, even before Santorum quit), while Gingrich and Paul lag far behind. I don't think there will be another debate among the Republican contenders, chances are, the next debate will be between Obama and Romney.
