The former Pennsylvania senator is more than 30 signatures short of the 500 needed in the 7th Congressional district..”

I can understand missing a filing or something like that, but why cut the number so close when it is such a small number? Man, 500 is not much...IN folks must not like Rick too much.

""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.

** This is what irritates me about Santorum. He is helping Romney.

I like Santorum a lot. I really do.

But if you can't come up with 500 supporters, then either you lack popularity, or you lack organizational skills. Both features are pretty important in a big league politician. Perhaps this explains Rick's current placement in the polls.

Missing the ballot by 30 votes? Isn’t there one guy there with a clipboard to hit the pavement in that area? This could be done in an hour.

Again and again, Rick misses ballot after ballot and fails over and over again to field delegates in other states.

He has a whopping 8 delegates, and hasn’t gained a single one since Iowa.

He can’t win, but everyone knows he’s angling for the V.P. slot. It’s just sad that Rick knows the damage he is going to do, and could care less.

Lots of Paul signs in So Indiana. Today's shirt is pink...Was gonna honor "for the cure" until they backpeddled

That in mind. If Santorum is Not on Ballot it will be between romney and NEWT

Why is Bishop Willard Mitt Romney not using his title? What is he trying to hide? Do we want the elder of any faith to serve as President? Would we want a Catholic, Anglican, Methodist Bishop serving as president? Is it even constitutional? We need to have this conversation now!

Interesting that he can affords adds to bombard Newt but can’t afford to get on the ballot in certain states. His candidacy is surely a mystery the way it is being run. Looks to me as if he is just playing the spoiler role.

Santorum needs to get out.

Has he been “talked” to? Thirty signatures is too close to just walk away. I know the powers that be in the RinoNC are just a crooked and sleezy as the DNC but it seems they want to lose the country just as quickly as Soros does.

Rick Santorum should've hired Obama to get those signatures...

It's no wonder Rick Santorum doesn't do well in this district. It's represented by a Muslim Congressman, and went more than 70% for Obama in 2008. Not like they're gonna sign a petition for a conservative candidate!

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.

Groan...

I don’t like this, obviously. It shows campaign organization problems.

But Newt Gingrich has the same issues in Missouri and both Gingrich and Santorum have the same issues in Virginia.

Who does the pre-planning for these campaigns?

That’s a really unfortunate major, campaign killing error...
I feel sorry for his supporters and volunteers who worked their behinds off only to be thwarted in their plans like that.

And yet, Obama will likely have no problem whatsoever being put on the IN ballot come November. Santorum has more of a right to be on the the Rebpublican primary ballot than Obama does on ANY Ballot in the country regardless simply because he’s actually Constitutionally Qualified to BE the President.

This country seems to get more distressing every day.
