Rick Santorum has canceled his Sunday morning campaign appearances because his young daughter has been admitted to the hospital in Philadelphia, a spokesman for Santorum said.
"Rick and his wife Karen are admitting their daughter Bella to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia this evening. The campaign will cancel Rick's upcoming Sunday morning Florida campaign schedule. However, Rick intends to return to Florida and resume the campaign schedule as soon as is possible," Santorum communications director Hogan Gidley said in an email.
Gidley said nothing more should be read into Santorum's scaled-back schedule, explaining: "No one is getting out."
Santorum has spoken frequently about Bella, who has ongoing health issues, during his 2012 campaign.
Lord have mercy.
This is not the time or place to be making disparaging remarks about Rick. He has more important things to worry about than politics. It is his decision what he wants to do. If he wants to stay in I am with him.
God bless him and his family. Prayers up for his daughter and family.
I think Santorum should give up trying to be president and do whatever to be the best and most memorable father.
There is plenty of time for him to come back and try for president again.
This is NOT said for any other reason than it is truly a belief in my heart—the WH isn’t the best place for children. (even if it is cute to us)
I’ve thought this a long time and it is part *PART* of the reason I don’t respect Obama.
I was glad when Palin decided not to have her kids live that way, even if I thought she could serve us well.
She served her family first, as it should be in my opinion.
Prayers for Bella and all of the Santorum family.
With comments like that, if filth like yourself are voting for Newt, then my decision just got much easier. Despicable.
I missed that. Can you tell me what slimy said? Cannot understand how anyone can look at, let alone listen to colmes.
That’s kinda sick....
God bless Bella and the Santorum family.
God Bless this little girl, a precious gift.
Please pray for all of the Santorum family.
Not the time or place.
Heavenly Father please bless little Bella and place your loving hand on the entire family, Amen
You’ve got a ton of class, all of it low.
Hoping and praying she’ll be fine.
Prayers for the young lady’s health.
Prayers for Bella and the Santorum family.
Prayers to the Santorums and their little girl.
Oh now why did you have to go and post a picture like that? Now I’m all teary.
God bless Bella and the Santorum family.
No it's really not.
I’m gonna pile on the political nature of that remark too.
At a time when a child’s life is in the balance - you say that?
