If one is to believe the slow drip of rumors, Santorum is reportedly heading for the exit after having been squeezed out by Mitt Romney:
There is a “very good likelihood” Rick Santorum is dropping out, according to an aide to the campaign. Chris Godbey, who ran Santorum’s Mississippi campaign, said that the campaign had scheduled a call with supporters and that he was expecting confirmation of Santorum’s intentions soon.
Santorum is expected to speak in Gettysburg, PA momentarily.
Expect a slow dribble of unenthusiastic Republicans resignedly endorsing Mitt Romney now because it doesn’t really matter anyway, we’re all gonna die eventually, so, like, whatever….

I want Santorum to Tebow during his concession speech.
Don’t you mean “first as comedy, then as farce”?
Romney squeezes out Santorum.
Yeh, try to get to sleep tonight thinking about that…
According to the NY Times, he’s “ending his improbable, come-from-behind quest.”
Of course, now Romney doesn’t have to smear Santorum all across Pennsylvania…
At long last my dog and I can once again use teh Google
Every Republican who claimed God told them to run for President has failed and dropped out.
I may start believing.
Looks like Rmoney wiped out the Santorum.
You know those Santorum kids are all gonna grow up to be hookers and crackheads and Hollywood horror stories. Except for the one who decides to be a televangelist. There’s always one.
So, is Rick now going to bring the remains of his stillborn campaign home to share with the family? Hopefully the kids will take the opportunity to kick him in the balls and tell him to quit it with the ongoing public humiliation…
ohhhh.. in the gig he did .. he had his wife slightly behind and to one side ..sniffling ..and a slow scroll of slides of his sick little gurl on t’other side .. he’s a schmucky POS .. always was .. good riddance to bad rubbish …
No more “Santorum Surges From Behind” stories?
I think every headline writer in Amurka just had a sad.

Tweet of the hour:
“A little town in Pennsylvania, called Gettysburg,” said Rhett Butler.
Dang. Close enough for me to drive up and jeer!
Looks like Snow Snooky is going to have some competition on the wingnut grifter circuit now.
So sad.
Guess my Santorum/Duggar Family 2012 bumber stickers are doomed. I was so looking forward to twentygillion kids crying on stage after
The Great SatanThe Kenyan Usurper kicked their asses.So now it’s just Mitt’s whiny, overpriveleged drone we get to listen to for the next kajillion months…
I think we can all agree this is good news for John McCain, regardless…
It appears that Gettysburg will be the high-water mark of the Santorum surge, squirting up from the nether regions of the Deep South.
I really hate it when those GOP bastards don’t bother to flush…
Damn it! Another keyboard ruined with a spit take.
Every single candidate that god told to run for president has now dropped out. God is not doing too well on his predictions lately.
I’m going with God is a practical joker with a wicked sense of humor. How else do you explain Him/Her telling Michelle Bachmann that she should run?
Barbiturates, brandy, benzodiazepines….
Well, there’s always the possibility that he’ll make the five sons who live for free in his flippin’ basement in La Jolla manage his campaign website. I for one look forward to “Question Time” with the Mittster’s spawn.
