Over and Done: Former Sen. Rick Santorum, Oklahoma's GOP Choice, Is Out

Just a few weeks ago, Oklahoma Republicans went big for former Sen. Rick Santorum as the GOP nominee for president. Today, Santorum dropped out.

Yes, Sooner fans, Saint Rick of Pennsylvania is history. He's not going to be the Republican nominee for president in 2012.

This means that Oklahoma conservatives will have to vote for—yes!—Mitt Romney, the godfather of Obamacare and a state supporter of the individual mandate.

Woo-hoo! Republicans have a real Massachusetts liberal on the GOP ticket.

Can't wait to hear this East Coast  multimillionaire relate to all us working stiffs out here in Middle America.

UPDATE: Tulsa's Santorum supporters professed to be shocked that their man has dropped out. The story here.  Apparently, they were laboring under the illusion that Rick could actually win.
