NBC News has confirmed that Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum will suspend his campaign for the nomination. The announcement, expected shortly at an event in Gettysburg, Pa., follows a recent hospitalization for his 3-year-old daughter who suffers from the chromosomal defect Trisomy 18.
A senior source in the Mitt Romney camp confirms to NBC News that the front-runner received a call from Santorum today.
Santorum’s decision to suspend his campaign will effectively stifle the opposition to Romney from within the GOP; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul remain active candidates, though neither of them have a plausible path to winning the 1,144 delegates needed to secure the nomination.
This is a breaking news story. Please check back for updates.

This is only a suspension, correct?
Maybe he's just looking for an attention/sympathy grab, and will re-enter the race in a week or two?
