If Santorum cannot win his home state (again)... then, yes, as a practical matter he's done for. Whatever money still flows into his campaign will quickly dwindle to a trickle.

That would leave Newt, for whom one might have a glimmer of hope, were he not living off cash infusions from a single donor. And there's still, Ron Paul, who keeps on going apparently because the microchip in his head is stuck in a feedback loop.

Personally I think Rick will win PA. All these polls make for intersting conversation pieces but I just can’t believe Romney wins [all] his home states, Newt wins his and all of a sudden Santorum becomes the first to lose his-—may be a little close but I see Santorum winning by at least 5 points.

“That would leave Newt, for whom one might have a glimmer of hope”

Newt’s been vying with Ron Paul for last place. oh and those cash infusions? Gone. Newt’s only hope was to play power broker in the case where neither Santorum nor Romney got a majority of delegates, but Newt himself doesnt have that many delegates.

Santorum was the only one in the past month who could catch Romney, but with wisconsin ... he can’t. Santorum’s wins in the south gave him life, but Wisconsin pretty much ended that glimmer. Now he’s making a stand in his home state.

So my prediction: I dont think Santorum will withdraw pre-PA nor should he. Keep fighting. But .. If Romney wins PA, Santorum will ‘do the right thing’ and withdraw, clearing the field for Romney and ensuring no convention fight.
