Santorum bristles as Gingrich suggests he quit


WASHINGTON—Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says Newt Gingrich shouldn't be urging him to drop out of the primaries.

Santorum tells Fox News Channel that one candidate shouldn't tell another "to get out of the race and get out of the way."


The former Pennsylvania senator was responding to remarks by Gingrich suggesting other conservatives need to coalesce around him to keep Mitt Romney from winning the party nomination.


Santorum says he thinks he's the better, more conservative candidate himself -- but that wouldn't justify asking Gingrich to quit. He says, "Everybody should run."

Too bad Noot didn't take the one with the flaky Italian captain.
That would have been a keeper to see Noot in the water, bobbing up and down, without a life jacket on.
