Romney to Quit Race During CPAC Speech

The Former Governor of the Liberal State of Massachusetts is reported to be dropping out of the race for the Republican Nomination. He is behind in delegates almost 3 to 1 to McCain, and even lost ground to Former Arkansas Governor Huckabee. I always wondered how Conservative someone can be who was elected by the same people who keep sending Kennedy, Kerry, and Frank to Congress? I suppose McCain will be the winner of the Republican Nomination unless Huckabee can pull off a miracle. Ron Paul is there too, but let's be realistic, he stands no chance. Which might let Republican's in open primary states vote in the Democratic Primary just to mess with the lefties for a bit. Whoever gets the GOP nod for President, one can be sure he will not be a true conservative, whether that makes him more "electable" to the masses that remains to be seen. I for one have never voted for a Democrat for President in the 3 elections I could legally vote in, and will continue that tradition this November.

It's almost for sure that McCain will win the Republican nomination. I found it interesting that Romney said, "If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention … I’d forestall the launch of a national campaign and, frankly, I’d be making it easier for Sen. Clinton or Obama to win. Frankly, in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror.” I guess I never thought of Romney's step-down from the race as an aid to the Republican party.
