Bush’s fault.

[richmwill]

I worry that this may be related to the health of his daughter. Prayers that all is ok.

[hoosiermama]

News conference at anytime on FOXNews.

[McGruff]

Wow. That's Hugh! It's up to Newt now to stop the coronation.

[Revolting cat!]

Oh Nose, there’ll be a dozen threads announcing this “news” (there are three already!)

[Mr. K]

wouldn’t it be wonderful if he tossed all his delegates to Gingrich?

Speaking of... what happens to them?

I am still hoping for Gingrich/Cain

[Iscool]

Santorum must have accepted the VP slot for Romney...

What a convoluted, corrupt mess this Primary process is...

So he drops out now, after he’s screwed Newt’s chances of beating Romney. What a jerk.

Goodbye Rick.....Take care of your sick child and support Romney so we can get that demon out of the WH....

I just heard from my postman’s dog and he says Santorum will be announced as the new interim manager for the Marlins!

[CatherineofAragon]

This is supposed to be about Santorum, but Fox is nothing but ROmney-Romney-Romney! They can’t STOP talking about him!

[SoFloFreeper]

Yes, prayers up for Rick and his family.

This really isn’t a surprise, though.
