Dear Commons Community,

All the news outlets are reporting that Rick Santorum has dropped out of the Republican Presidential Nomination Race.  The Huffington Post reported:

“In a surprise decision Tuesday, former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) announced that he is suspending his presidential campaign, all but putting an end to the Republican primary.

“We made a decision to get into this race at our kitchen table, against all the odds, and we made a decision over the weekend that while this presidential race is over for me, and we will suspend our campaign effective today, we are not done fighting,” Santorum said during an address in Gettysburg, Pa.

He did not endorse Mitt Romney during his annnouncement.
