Uh...I don't know if I buy that. He was on track to lose. Why wouldn't you want him to stay in and lose in the court of public opinion. Are you celebrating his reputation being saved? Because he's now the front runner in 2016. So if anything, his drop out now only enhances his chances next time around.
Furthermore, he would not have dropped out if it weren't for his child. I just don't understand how you aren't happy about this. Is what you're saying currently "Jeez its a real shame that his child got sick, but you know what, I guess it all works out because I hate Rick Santorum?"
Explain to me your position, Burning Down.

Sure. That and he was in trouble in PA.

I'm glad someone is calling a spade, a spade.

Wait a minute, you made this post. Are you telling me you didn't read your own ****ing post? It says in the OP that his daughter was sick from a rare genetic disorder.
