Rick Santorum suspended campaign on Tuesday
Did not endorse Romney - has said Romney is an unworthy standard-bearer for the GOP
“We will continue to go out and fight and defeat President Barack Obama.”
“We were winning in a very different way. We were touching hearts.”
Over and over again we were told, ‘Forget it. You can’t win.’”
Santorum would have needed 80% or remaining delegates to win nomination before the national convention in Florida in August
Santorum’s delegates can support any candidate they wish (in most states) and Gingrich has already begun trying to appeal to them
-
Gingrich says he will stay in the race to help the party build a solidly conservative platform
Said his lack of funds is no reason to get out of the race
