Fox news just reported that Mark Halprin [sic], from Time Magazine, has information that Mitt Romney will be ending his campaign sometime today.
Wow, that was an expensive vanity campaign.
The corpse finally realizes it’s dead.
Say hello to my new Commander-in-Chief, President Hillary R. Clinton.
You mean he is not even going to wait until he speaks to CPAC?
That’s it. It’ll be McCain/Huckabee or /Graham or /Woman. Sorry Mitt. See you in four years... unless a conservative emerges from the rubble.
Back to the one-party system.
One thing is for sure ... He is a very prudent businessman..
let’s try not to rub it in.

All hail Hillary or should I say “Seig heil”.
Mark Halprin will be on FNC shortly. He says he has three sources for the story.
I hope he works on his message. I like his economic background and hope he runs again in 4 years. That being said, I’m disappointed that the GOP will no longer be able to provide me with a candidate I am willing to vote for. Don’t get me wrong, I will not vote for the Democrat candidate, but John McCain will not get my vote either.
Yea, like under HRC or JM he could even have a business.
For a businessman, it sure took him a long time to digest the numbers ...
Conservatives care about the United States so much ...
that they're willing to DEFEAT McCain to save the nation!!!
McCain needs to wake up and smell the "VILE"!!!
"Bipartisanship" Is A Dirty Word; and RUSH: "We want to defeat them"
McCain is the one-party system candidate.
Hail Victory!
I smell boo-chit.....
Time to find a Third Party conservative candidate to support!
I’m starting to pack my essentials for that trip to the re-education camp.

Romney waited too long to find his voice and the conservatives didn’t rally to him soon enough.
Not gonna happen. Super delegates vote for her. Obama camp goes crazy, sit out election. Run anyone for GOP, they win. That easy.
Of course, now McCain may have no further use for Huckabee and will kick him to the curb. And be free to pi** on the conservative base with his former gusto.
A small price to pay for keeping Mormons in their place, isn't it?
He is going to announce it a CPAC.
The next four years are going to be hell, no matter who gets in.
Pray for our Nation..sw

I was not a Huckabee supporter.
But I don’t understand pulling out now.
Sometimes things happen to the front runner - they do something stupid or something comes out about them.
And when that happens the guy who is #2 in delegates an #1 in money would usually be the nominee. If nothing else he could be a force at the convention.
They call it "post-partisan" now. The soccer moms are more comfortable with it when you give it a happy-sounding name.
Still three men left. It’s getting interesting. Who will be the last one standing? McCain can blow his top off at any time.
Mike Huckabee was right, it is a two man race!
That discounts a McCain meltdown between now and the convention. That’s is not eaxctly a low-probability happening.
Gosh, Limbaugh wouldn’t permit that to happen. Limbaugh (our overseer) has ordained that Romney is to be ordained President.
Yes. Agreed. BTW... great bio page!
Time to start stocking up on survival supplies
I can't see McPain putting Huckabee on the ticket. Then again, I can't see Mitt Romney accepting such a deal.
I’ve been resigned for a while that 2008 is the year of The Witch. Plan accordingly.
I guess this means that McCain’s poodle should be dropping out of the race shortly after this. His mission is accomplished and he is receiving lavish praise from McCain...
Well, he had to go through Super Tues and wait for exactly how all the California delegates fell yesterday, etc. Then it was likely "wait and see" if Huck would possibly drop, so some soul searching, etc.
Guess I'll be voting 3rd party this year for the 1st time in a looooonnnnggggg time.
I think it would be cool as hell if Romney had his people feed a false story just to burn Mark Halperin.
Find his voice... He was about as real a Conservative as his hair was.
Mitt should throw his delegate to McCain to thwart Huck’s back door attempt at VP!!
Say it ain’t so!
Typo
>>I was not a Huckabee supporter.<<
Should have read
I was not a Romney supporter.
No use throwing good money after bad. Thanks for trying, Governor.
Not good news-i wanted Thompson-he’s out-I voted Romney-not my favorite-but still acceptable.Now i’m beating my head against the wall(rhetorically)trying to figure out how we’ve ended up with someone like McCain as our frontrunner.......
It was already clear that he could only win the nomination if McCain dropped out of the race.
It would be nice, given the possibility that McCain could keel over at any time, if he was around.
But on the other hand, it might also be nice to put to bed the “Huckabee would win if Romney just dropped out” discussion once and for all.
Huckabee should have dropped out, Romney is much closer to McCain and if Huckabee really cared about conservative values, he’d see that stopping McCain was the most important thing.
But now Romney, who previously backed off in South Carolina giving Fred Thompson a chance, now appears to be backing off to give Huckabee a chance, even though Huckabee has no chance at all.
