This came as a surprise to me.
This now leaves Ron Paul,John McCain and Huckabee left running.



(MSNBC)-WASHINGTON - John McCain effectively sealed the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday as chief rival Mitt Romney suspended his faltering campaign. "I must now stand aside, for our party and our country," Romney told conservatives.

It was all riding on California. Being a Romney supporter I am also saddened. He gave a hell of a speech last year at CPAC and did it again this year. Romney is smart though. Exiting was the smartest thing to do. He is setting himself and his campaign for a 2012 race. Surely, next go around he will do wonders; while in these 4 years he does another great thing, like saving the Olympics again

It's rather annoying that he dropped before I got to support him at the Washington caucases this weekend.

I'm not a big fan of John McCain, but he's orders of magnitude better than Hillary Clinton, or Barak Obama. It's a matter of holding one's nose, and choosing the one who'll do less harm, I suppose. Though perhaps someone'll come up with an independant campaign.
