Why is Santorum not dropping out?

[Stinky The Clown]

Because he doesn't have another job.

Neither does Newt.

And, for that matter, neither does Rmoney.

[Scuba]

1. Strong sphincter?

[brewens]

3. Hoping to begin a movement? n/t

[guitar man]

10. !!!

[appleannie1]

2. Because he thinks he is God's chosen one.

[cindyperry2010]

5. I thought that was good ole

Bible Spice

[Motown_Johnny]

4. I think he wants to be next in line for 2016

and by dragging this out he helps himself do that as well as making it tougher for Rmoney to win in November and upset his 2016 plans.

[cindyperry2010]

7. that i think

is what is closer to the real truth than anything

[HereSince1628]

6. Every dollar wasted on Rick is a dollar not available in the fall.

Yes there is huge money in play this election, but you can't spend your dollar and have it, too.

And for that reason I wish Newt wasn't quitting...

As a bonus we've gotten the entertainment out of watching anti-Romney ads.

[pinboy3niner]

8. Santorum is surging

Haven't you heard?

[meow2u3]

16. He's gushing from behind

Watch it ooooooooooze out!

[got root]

9. Can you imagine how sick folks would be come election time IF there were just 1

to clown to focus on?

Obama would skate in... besides it's not good for ratings, either.

[Ian David]

11. Because by now he really, REALLY hates Romney. n/t

[madamesilverspurs]

12. Dropping out

isn't in the self-annointed messiah's playbook.

Give him time, he'll eventually paint himself as suffering political crucifixion. Then he'll resurrect himself in about three years.

[Major Hogwash]

13. Well, the real reason is, he's going to win in Pennsylvania later in April.

And then he will claim that he is -- wait for it -- the "Comeback Kid".

I did NOT say that!

[MarianJack]

14. Since 1993 I've considered little ricky santorum to be...

...a TOTAL little shit!

Given that however, I can't really blame him for staying in until bain romney has officially clinched the nomination. In politics you never know what's going to happen.

PEACE!

[2ndAmForComputers]

23. Not total. There's the lube.

[MarianJack]

24. Point Taken!

PEACE!

15. I heard on CNN that despite beating Romney in the N. Dakota caucus

Santorum lost all the delegates to Romney in backdoor deals. Even if Santorum wins, he loses. And I also heard on CNN that Romney outspent Sanscrotum BY FIFTY TO ONE in Wisconsin. Santorum seems to think he's in a party that respects fair elections and democracy. He's nuts if he doesn't drop out, as the fat cats have already selected Etch A Sketch.

[fascisthunter]

17. because the religious right wing has enough money to prop his unpopular ass up

so he looks popular

[stlsaxman]

19. and that's some damned fine BANK they're all makin'...

thanks to Citizens United.

[unkachuck]

20. he's looking for another macaca moment....or would that be movement?....n/t

[Liberal_in_LA]

21. Romney is unemployed.

[Honeycombe8]

22. For the same reason that Nader guy didn't. Ego. He now believes his own PR...

that he is so wonderful, the country NEEDS him!

[Blue Owl]

25. When it happens, it'll be more of an oozing out

n/t

[lastlib]

26. Nah, he'll flow out in a strong steady stream for at least a month. . . . .eom

[denem]

27. Santorum hates Mitt Romney,

as does just about every candidate who has ever stood against him.

If there is a ghost of a chance he can keep him out, he will.

[Jamaal510]

28. I find it odd how Santorum is the one being asked to drop out now

rather than Gingrich, when he has more delegates. Noot should've dropped out a long time ago so this thing could've been much closer.
