Santorum might leave Florida early

NBC's Andrew Rafferty reports:

Failing to show early signs of momentum in the Sunshine State, presidential hopeful Rick Santorum on Wednesday signaled he may be cutting out of Florida before the state's Jan. 31 primary.

Speaking to reporters here, the former Pennsylvania senator said was unsure if he would be in Florida the night of the primary, committing only to campaigning in the state over the next two days. On Saturday, he'll head home to Virginia for fundraisers and to prepare his tax records which he plans to soon make public.

Ron Paul has also said he won't be in the state on the night of the primary, which further sets up next Tuesday night as a one-on-one showdown between Mitt and Newt.
