Santorum may stop campaigning for Florida.

NAPLES, FL -- Failing to show early signs of momentum in the Sunshine State, presidential hopeful Rick Santorum on Wednesday signaled he may be cutting out of Florida before the state's Jan. 31 primary.

Speaking to reporters here, the former Pennsylvania senator said was unsure if he would be in Florida the night of the primary, committing only to campaigning in the state over the next two days. On Saturday, he'll head home to Virginia for fundraisers and to prepare his tax records which he plans to soon make public.

Santorum said this weekend will be the first time he's slept in his own bed since Christmas.

His campaign has acknowledged that the large and expensive state of Florida would be a tough place to do well. His war chest is dwarfed compared to that of frontrunners Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, who each also have well funded Super PACs. A Quinnipiac Poll released today shows Santorum running nearly 20 points behind the top candidates.

4. He wants the VP nod from Gingrich.

So he's throwing his votes that way, IMO. I'd Romney wins FL then newt would be in a tough position.

5. God sure is on a roll these days

First Bachmann, then Perry, and now Santorum. Maybe God told him he is going to be Newt's VP.

All four of god's warriors bit the dust.

Sad.

6. You mean God is NOT all-powerful?

Who would have ever guessed? Call the God Squad! Make a few billion miraculously appear in his PAC's account.

7. "this weekend will be the first time he's slept in his own bed since Christmas" = Bushism?

Cause being a vest-wearing bigot is "hard work".

12. My guess is he'll follow the Sarah Failin grifter path.

He'll (ghost) write a book or two, go on the public appearance circuit ($40,000 a pop)
and then become a "Political Analyst" for Faux Snooze.
