I'm pretty disappointed that Santorum pulled out of the debate as well.
The handwriting on the wall about Santorum is getting to be pretty plain.
to you and I and others but some still cannot see it.
Pulling out of that debate proves that they fear Newt and if they fear him how on earth can they expect to debate obama.
Saying that it seems Newt wants to be President, while it seems some just want the nomination and thinks the south the base , conservatives will get in line as per usual, the north east beltway establishment might even throw a bone like 2008 and put a decent person on the VP ticket and we’re too stupid to see what they are doing, or so they think as some of us are pissed off with all of this and their backroom deals.
Newt will win Georgia. Santorum knows it.
He'd rather spend his time on winning in Michigan or Arizona.

It is for those willing to read what it actually says.
"Any politician who regards the adult use of contraceptives as a matter under his own purview cannot lay claim to the limited government label, nor can he credibly invoke a tradition rooted in the pursuit of happiness." - Conor Friedersdorf
"Host: So, would birth control be covered by that notion of freedom without responsibility?
Santorum: I'm--look, I vote and have supported, you know, birth control because it is not the taking of a human life. But, you know, I'm not a believer in birth control--in artificial birth control. Again, I think it goes down the line of being able to do whatever you want to do without having the responsibility that comes with that. And I don't think it--it breaks what I think--now, this is from a personal point of view. From a governmental point of view, I support, you know, Title X, I guess it is, and have voted for contraception--although I don't think it works. I think it's harmful to women, I think it's harmful to our society to have a society that says that, you know, sex outside of marriage is something that should be encouraged or tolerated, particularly among the young, and I think it has--and we've seen very, very harmful long-term consequences to a society. So birth control to me enables that, and I don't think it's a healthy thing for our country.
Sen. Santorum not only "doesn't vote against contraception," but voted to subsidize it.
(Title X was a Nixon-era family-planning program that directs federal taxpayer money to, among others, the pro-abortion group Planned Parenthood.)
