Is this significant?
"He pointedly made no mention or endorsement of Romney, whom Santorum had derided as an unworthy standard-bearer for the GOP."

He could just be a bitter man at the moment. Give him another month and see if he wants to rally around Romney to beat Obama.Originally Posted by Lemur

I do not think Hillary endorsed Obama in her suspension speech. Wasn't it done later in an event of its own?
Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election
Nah, she endorsed him in her concession. I checked the transcript here. But there were some hard feelings, as I recall with the whole PUMA thing, and there were more events later in which Hil appeared onstage with 'Bama.
Anyway, if it's not a big deal then it's not a big deal. I just thought it was customary when it was down to two.

Okay, now it's time for Newty-boy to shine. He should come out strongly in favor of continuing the primary fight.

Oh, right, Newt, I had forgotten him completely.

So out of the fire into the cauldron it's eye on Newt time.
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election
Newt will drop out tomorrow, or fight on long enough to beat Santorum's delegate count, just in case Romney dies or something crazy

Re: 2012 U.S. Presidential Election
Fun fact learned today. "Suspending" a campaign is not the same as dropping out. Dropping out shuts of the money, while a suspended campaign allows the candidate to continue collecting funds (which should go to pay off campaign debts, but who knows).
Newt will not drop out, but his campaign is so broke he is essentially suspended. Paul is angling for something, and he has the money to keep going.

Even though he's no longer running, Herman Cain continues to release the best performance art of all. I got a genuine belly-laugh out of this one. Maybe that's the point? Seriously, what's with the man being eaten alive by chickens?
