With one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel, Santorum meets with top conservatives aka Santorum as the Black Knight

Any conversion that doesn�t involve Santorum leaving the race with a little dignity is a waste of time 

Politico reports Rick Santorum huddled in Virginia Thursday with a group of longtime conservative activists in what several participants described as a late attempt to rally the right and block Mitt Romney�s nomination from becoming inevitable.

The former Pennsylvania senator met in Tysons Corner with a crew of GOP fixtures, led by Reagan-era activists Richard Viguerie and Rebecca Hagelin, to discuss a path forward in the presidential race. The Santorum campaign confirmed that the activists had reached out to request time with him.

After losing the Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington D.C. primaries this week, Santorum has been battling calls for him to withdraw from the race.
