Everybody’s favourite lunatic Republican has suspended his political campaign. From Talking Points Memo:
Rick Santorum suspended his bid for the presidency in a news conference in Gettysburg, Pa., clearing the path for Mitt Romney to become the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party. “We made a decision over the weekend that while this presidential race for us is over for me, and we will suspend our campaign effective today,” he said. “We are not done fighting.” He notably did not endorse — or even mention — Romney. His chief rival nonetheless sent out a statement praising Santorum’s decision.
It looks like that chief rival’s going to be the guy challenging Barack Obama in the fall.
I’ll always remember Rick Santorum for this video. (And, of course, for this.)
