Rombot to Shutdown? Yes.

According to Time Magazine's Mark Halperin, Romney is leaving the race. This would be huge news if true. I have to say, I’m surprised by this. Perhaps Romney’s famed business acumen has finally taken over. Look at the risk/reward ratio. It’s just not worth the money anymore for the miniscule chance he could force a convention and pull this out. And then he’d have to deal with Barack O’Billary, which would mean another $50+ million coming out of the Romney family coffers.
Very interesting… and the true test would then come for the “Christian Conservative” wing of the party. Will Jim Dobson, Rob Schenck, Tony Perkins, Gary Bauer et al finally get behind Huckabee? If they don’t, I’m really going to start believing all the rumors that this crowd has been bought and paid for in this election cycle.
I hear CPAC is running about a half hour behind schedule, so Romney hasn’t taken the stage yet. Knowing the Romney media machine, this could just be one huge ploy to get media attention for Romney’s CPAC speech. Only time will tell….

While I was unable to see Mitt’s delivery, the text of his withdrawal speech was excellent (and you know that's really saying something considering my obvious dislike for his campaign). Read the speech here.
Too bad Mitt didn’t have the record to match the rhetoric. As I’ve said before: if he had, he would have been unstoppable.
