Rick Santorum leaves GOP race

I'm a little surprised that Rick Santorum has bowed out of the GOP presidential race. But yet, not really.

The writing was on the wall that Mitt Romney will become the nominee, so Santorum's exit should help the Republican Party unify in its effort to defeat President Barack Obama.

I think the next question will be, who will Romney name as his vice presidential nominee? The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that it might be U.S. Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio.

Ohio will be critical for Romney, so perhaps he would benefit by his selection of Portman. We'll see what happens.
