Romney Drops Out

Wow!  I am completely shocked at Mitt Romney's decision to suspend his campaign for the GOP nomination.  You can read more about it here.  

"I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America, I feel I must now stand aside, for our party and for our country."

Romney was quoted in his speech at CPAC earlier today. I believe this was a noble decision on his part, and because of it, I now have a greater respect for Romney. With McCain now clearly the Republican candidate, this will hopefully help bring the party together to focus on his campaign against the Democratic nominee, instead of continuing the inter-party conflict.  While I do not agree with McCain on certain issues, I plan to support him, as I am much more closely aligned with his stances than those of either of the potential Democratic nominees.

This breaking news is going to make for an interesting turn of events and atmosphere at CPAC. Ah, never a dull moment in the world of politics!  Well, I must go finish packing for the weekend! Check back next week for my CPAC recap!
