Whew!
I was afraid he would go all the way.
Romney suspends presidential campaign
Fears a fight to the convention would make Democratic victory more likely
'BOSTON - Former Massachussetts Gov. Mitt Romney is supsending his presidential campaign, effectively ceding the Republican nomination to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
In a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington Thursday, Romney talked of Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama retreating in Iraq and declaring defeat.
He then told the crowd he disagrees with McCain on a number of issues, but that he'd given the mater a lot of thought and if he fought on all the way to the Republican convention, " I forestall the launch of a national campaign and frankly I'd be making it easier for Senator 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'm almost sad that Romney dropped out. I think he would be easier to beat than McCain. Imagine a Romney/Huckabee ticket!
But in the slight chance that Romney might have won, I guess it's good that he's out.
The Democrats would have beat the living cr@p out of Romney.
