Santorum not dropping out

BEDFORD, Pa. - Rick Santorum is not quitting the race, his spokesman Hogan Gidley said Tuesday, despite a late-night change in his campaign schedule to accommodate the release of his daughter from the hospital that resulted in cancellation all of his morning events.

The campaign announced early Tuesday morning that Santorum's three-year-old-daughter, Bella, was being released from the hospital after falling ill over the weekend. They also axed two events in Pennsylvania - a rally in Bedford and a speech to the Penn State Dickinson School of Law in Carlisle - so Santorum could help his family "settle in at home."

"Rick and Karen are happy to announce that their daughter Bella has been discharged from the hospital and returned home earlier Monday evening," Gidley said in a release.

The two morning events were replaced with an event at 2 p.m. in Gettysburg, Pa., that Gidley said was added to minimize speculation that Santorum was dropping out of the race.

Santorum is like a bad case of herpes, recurring over and over at the most inopportune times. I suspect he's staying in the race expecting some miracle from on high. Moron.

I would like to know why Foster Friess pours good money after bad to keep Santorum's campaign afloat. It's like betting on the horse with a hair fracture...time after time.
He apparently has that Howard Hughes syndrome.

This is not the Republican Party of Dwight Eisenhower. It is now a party of extremists. Rick , you are one of them. So hang in there and keep it polarized. Thanks

True! A party of extremists, weirdos, self-righteous hypocrites, religious zealots, and wannabe American ayatollahs. Ike would repudiate them all.
