President 2012: Rick Santorum Suspends Presidential Campaign

Rick Santorum is suspending his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination, clearing a path for Mitt Romney to become the nominee.

A Republican close to the campaign says the former Pennsylvania senator was to make the announcement Tuesday in his home state of Pennsylvania, two weeks before the GOP presidential primary there. Santorum faced a tough fight in his home state against Romney.

Now, the path is cleared for Mitt Romney to win the Republican nomination.

The general election campaign has started – Romney Vs. Obama.
