I sort of expected this, but still am disappointed nonetheless. Still doesn’t mean I’m voting for McCrazy or *uckabee though.

Here is a parody of a song “Brokenheartsville” my husband and I sang last night...
“Here’s to the past,
The party can kiss my glass
I hope they’re happy with him
Here’s to McCain who wrecked my world
The Senator who did me in
I think the devil wrote the McCain Fiengold Bill
I watched my party drive away over the hill
Not against their will
I’ve got a vote to kill
down in Brokenheartsville”

I have to salute you for all the truth you spread about Willard.

I can’t help but enjoy this moment. Almost as good as when Rudy quit.

Even though I expected this, it is a huge win for the so-called dinosaur media, liberals and the Politicial Axis Of Evil (see tagline)

At least this is a classy move, if it happens.

Cannot expect that from Huckster or Pauline as they have no class whatsoever.

And McLame is just a liberal. Nuff said.

Yep, I was thinking that myself. Maybe they’ll call it the “National Suicide Socialist Collective”. I don’t know how I’ll vote in November, except that it won’t be for McCain, Hillary or Obama. The various media folks want McCain and I think it’s because they have some very powerful dirt on him which they are witholding until after he’s secured the nomination.

Just proves that Romney was nothing more than a "stalking horse" for McCain in the first place.

(It makes as much sense as when people said it about Fred Thompson, after all.)

For a businessman, it sure took him a long time to digest the numbers ...


And those who opposed him so vehemently still haven’t digested theirs.
Don’t expect Romney back in 4 years. The forces that opposed him will not have changed much by then. He has so many better options available to him. Evan Bill Clinton and Al Gore did better for themselves when they got out of politics.

I guess he wants to save all those millions of dollars for something better, though I can’t think of anything better right now than defeating John McCain.

I’ll vote for John McCain if he’s the GOP nominee in November.

But I think of it like this: I’m not voting for McCain so much as I’m voting against Clinton or Obama.

Any volunteer effort (on my part) will be spent working on lower-tier races here in Minnesota.

GOP sources: Romney to suspend campaign

From John King
CNN

(CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will suspend his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, GOP sources tell CNN.

Generally, when a presidential candidate "suspends" a campaign, he may keep any delegates he has won up to that point. If the candidate "drops out," he may only keep district-level delegates he had won and he would forfeit any statewide delegates won.

>>>>>FoxNews: Romney to Drop Out

Lets hope so. The pro-abortion Giuliani is gone and now the Romney Death Watch is just about over. The culture of death should never be part of the GOP agenda.

This would leave conservatives with only two bad choices. LOL

Say hello to my new Commander-in-Chief, President Hillary R. Clinton

Short of an act of God, I'm afraid you are right. And now that McCain has absolutely no reason to capitulate in any way to conservatives--I wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly has better things to do than attend the CPAC convention--perhaps he'll schedule an ear and nose hair trim instead.

Oh, well, at least I can pull the lever for Fred in Wisconsin in the primary like I wanted to.

The Washington Post just put up a link for what they say will be a Romney speech from CPAC in a few minutes.

Live Soon: Romney Speaks at Conservative PAC

This is right below a link about withdrawing.
