Our appeals to his logic are falling on deaf ears. Either Santo really believes that he still has a chance to win the nomination, or he just doesn't give a damn about the calculus of him drawing votes away from Newt.
My personal sense of the man, is that he's too selfish to notice or care about the fact that he's splitting the conservative vote just enough to give Florida to Mitt.

I’ve wondered about his selfishness, too.
I recall one debate when asked what they would bring or take away from the White House, Santorum said they would need to add onto to the White House, as to have enough room for all his kids. (where does THAT money come from?!)
Then tonight he got off on a tangent telling us about homeschooling in the White House. Also, when asked where his wife was, he said something like: doing what she does best.
Seems to me a man who touts family so much wouldn’t be dividing his attentions and short-changing this country and his family with his desire to be Mr.President. It seems to go against everything he claims he is for.
This country is in such a mess, we can’t afford anything less than a 100% of his attention, where does that leave a young and large family?
Maybe I’m strange but I think it is a bit cruel to drag young kids into the suffocating fish-bowl life with all the SS and people everywhere. No privacy and the freedoms they knew—gone, zapped! I’m sure it will add to his wife’s burden, too...that’s a LOT of stress!
It is their childhood for cripes sake! He can take another shot at being president, they don’t get another shot at childhood!
I think Rick is between a rock and a hard place. I’m sure that the establishment has let him know if he drops out and endorses Newt his career is over. But if he drops out and endorses Mitt we will make sure his career is over.
