Santorum Concedes
Pennsylvania incumbent Republican Rick Santorum began his concession speech at 10 p.m. The kids joined him on stage in Pittsburgh, the younger ones weeping openly. He barely got through the "I just got off the phone with the new Senator-elect" when a plaintive "Oh, no!" came from a female supporter in the audience. "No!"
Given Santorum's poll numbers (current results give him 38 percent of the vote), that wail will not be echoed throughout the brunt of the Keystone State. But it just might make the Santorum family move back to Pennsylvania.
