Rick Santorum is on the verge of being left off the ballot in the the Indiana primary, three sources told BuzzFeed Friday.
The former Pennsylvania senator is more than 30 signatures short of the 500 needed in the 7th Congressional district, which includes Marion County, where Indianapolis is located, a source close to the Santorum campaign said.
The Marion County chief deputy of voter registration on the Democratic side, Scott Carr, confirmed that Santorum had not submitted 500 valid signatures. An Indiana Republican source said Santorum is "a couple dozen" signatures short, but that Newt Gingrich will be on the ballot.
The Indiana Primary won't be held until May 8, and is unlikely to be decisive in any event, but Santorum's shortfall cuts against some of his supporters hopes that he will rise as Newt Gingrich falls to provide a final challenger to Mitt Romney.

LOL...now I have two id’s. I am sure Jim can confirm we don’t share the same IP address, etc.
Manc you’re losing it man!
There are many people that view Santorum as the “truest” conservative of the bunch and we vote our conscience.
If you want to buy into the Gingrich ever-changing story then go for it - it’s your right and how our elections are supposed to work.
If we want progressives out of our government we need to stop voting for them - its that simple.
Teddy Roosevelt said it when the Bull Moose party failed. He said we progressives need to infiltrate both parties so that in 100 years people will NOT have a choice.
If you can’t see that possibility then you just have a clear disregard for history.
This election is about conviction and conscience, it is about God, it is about the American idea.
Well said!! :)
Santorum needs to put his ego aside, put his country before himself and drop out.
Whether its right or wrong......he needs to drop out because if he doesn’t soon, Romney will win and he will have burned bridges with a lot of conservatives.
read the other posts and those talking points by the other poster are EXACTLY what you said and still no proof where those votes would go.
You’re so full of it, you are either trying to get conservatives to lose or you are just plain not seeing things and so full of it.
Infact you said Jim and nearly all of us on here are wrong for supporting Jim , you have repeatedly said Jim has sent you messages with lots of profanity, but you are on here now not the FL board where Jim and others can read your trollish posts.
So go for it, say again like you have said before how Jim and us on here are wrong, tell everyone how Jim is wrong and how we’re not conservatives on here for voting for Newt.
Go and tell everyone on here like you have said on the FL board how you have said Jim has sent you post or messages with profanity in them.
I told you when there is a meet up you and I can talk then
go to the FL board where you stated Jim has sent you messages with swearing in them.
You said it, I did not so don’;t start lying about that.
You said those who voted for Newt are not conservatives
You have said Jim was wrong for being for Newt.

It’s all there and now you’re off the FL board you try and deny it all.
>> There are many people that view Santorum as the “truest” conservative of the bunch and we vote our conscience.
A vote for Santorum is effectively a vote for Romney.
Go Ross Santorum!!!
go to the FL board where you stated Jim has sent you messages with swearing in them.
You said it, I did not so don’;t start lying about that.
Here is your posts
Manc like I said to Jim directly both in mail and publicly if he wants to ban me that is his discretion I have almost 16 years of participating here at FR but under no threat am I am going to stop speaking the truth.
That’s what real conservatives do.
As for not voting against Obama - that says it all. Now we know who you really support.
or this about Jim and his voting
It cracks me up...my conservatism is challenged because I am supporting the most conservative candidate available yet the G-BOTS here including Jim refuse to vote for the GOP nominee if it isn’t Gingrich.
Who are the real conservatives here?
or this\ saying you challenged Jim
Manc I have challenged Jim over and over again on the public board about this. He sent me a private email with vulgarity in it threatening me.
Give me a break. At least I have the balls to stand up for what I believe in and what is right.
or this by private to me about Jim
Leni’s sister was banned by Jim and received a very vulgar message!!
and this
ust in the last two weeks. But I am not going to say much here in FREEPmail Jim has people actually reading all of this stuff.
Something has happened here at FR...this is absolutely not the same Jim that I have loved and supported since 1998!
I stand on the side of God and truth and quite frankly that’s all I care about even if I have to stand alone.
Santorum isn’t perfect and wouldn’t be my first choice but to completely disregard the massive baggage of Gingrich a couple weeks into the longest primary we have ever had is insanity!!!
Manc you are exaggerating on so many levels.
In my response to you I pointed out specifically that Jim used profanity. He has, not just to me but to many others. Jim knows what he writes, he comfortable with it. I’m not, I said something about it.
I questioned how many people voting for Newt are conservative or were they voting for Newt because of a political calculation or they felt they had no choice?
Gingrich has many positions not very dissimilar to Romney which are NOT conservative.
I haven’t denied anything, you are just not hearing anything. You are irrational about the situation and it is showing quite clearly.
And now you are acting like a little girl running to go and try and tattle-tale...LOL.
Seriously Jim sees and knows everything I have written.
I believe conservatives need to make a stand on principle not political calculation.
Heck I don’t even think Santorum fits my minimum bar but I am not going to write in Palin, West, Ryan, Rubio, etc...
see post 69.
You have attacked Jim, you have attacked conservatives and still you seem to try and now deny it
well post 69 has a few of those posts what YOU SAID and how about you saying you will not say much about freepermail because Jim reads them but you gave me your mail address
oh and try and tattle , er you are aware you have pinged this to your pals.
DUH
All cc’d please make sure you take a close look at post 69.
Manc is off the rails...it is funny how they always expose themselves eventually for whom they truly are.
your posts are there in 69 .
your words not mine
Now you’[re off the FL board for all to see you are trying to backtrack, well tough your posts about Jim are on here and no matter how many of your pals get pinged your words will be put up here for all to see
Yeah numb-nuts Jim asked me to take the discussion to the FL board you idiot...that’s why I did it.
I cc’d everyone so they would see how irrational and unstable you are.
You would do much better at places like the Huffington Post.
btw Manc how much have you donated to FR?
How many freeper events have you been to?
How many freeper events have you worked on?
How many freeper events have you helped organize?
How many freeper events have you helped fund?
Should we compare the scorecard? See who really supports JimRob and FR?
you said

You can keep pinging all your pals off the FL board but your words are here and it is between you, me and Jim who you have been putting down and even saying Jim is sending messages that he swears, he reads private messages s you wanted me to talk to you through your private e-mail
Keep going manc...here is another shovel so you can dig deeper...
Doing what you are doing always works out well here...
ha ha
you now have changed your profile to say Thanks Jim for giving us a place to share ideas
Yes the truth is out now isn’t it and now you try and backtrack and suck up.
