Santorum moves fuel predictions he will exit
Campaign that has pressed Romney hard ratchets back


By Bobby Caina Calvan
Globe Staff / April 7, 2012

BONNEAUVILLE, Pa. - Rick Santorum’s campaign insisted Friday the former Pennsylvania senator is still in the race despite mounting pressure even from voters in his home state that he pull out before the Keystone State’s primary April 24.

But Santorum has scheduled no public events over the holiday weekend and has made no major media buys, fueling speculation that he might quit. Polling in Pennsylvania that shows him slipping against front-runner Mitt Romney raises the prospect of an embarrassing home-state loss that could hurt his chances if he were to make a run for the nomination in 2016.

A Santorum campaign spokesman said the candidate had a busy slate of events scheduled for next week and promised that a list would be released soon.

If he is behind in the polls in PA then he has to call it quits.

Yeah...  Losing in his home state sure would be embarrassing.

Taking Easter weekend off to be with family ain't exactly a head scratcher. Got nothing to do with his campaign in the dumps.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.
