I note there is a multi page thread speculating Romney might drop pit of the GOP race.
But now its official, Romney has suspended his campaign with the reason cited being the good of the Republican party.

Effectively handing the GOP nomination to McCain becomes the conventional wisdom.
Can anyone see any scenario for stopping McCain from getting the GOP nod now? As a dem I don't think its my bridge to troll under, but I hope the handwriting is on the wall and the neocons are now packing their bags. Because Romney was their last hope after Rudy dropped.
And now, can Huckabee soldier on and mobalize the Religious right against McCain. But if Huck drops, McCain may be free to return to the Senate and take control of the GOP senators. Possibly weakening GWB&co. in the process.
Its fraught with possibilities.
