Romney Drops Out!

Mitt Romney Drops out of the presidential race… who would have thunk? His decision was based on the fact that the longer Republicans battle each other, the easier it will be for the Democrats to defeat them. Romney didn’t want aid any factors “making it easier for Senator Clinton or Obama to win.”

The news is rather shocking, since Romney was McCain’s only stiff competition and there are a long list of conservatives who despise McCain, including prominent media figures such as radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. But, with Huckabee stealing the Romney vote on Super Tuesday, he likely felt he was too far behind to defeat McCain. With only Huckabee and Paul left, McCain has basically been dubbed the Republican nominee.

On several issues, Romney and McCain exhanged bitter comments, but Romney claimed he is putting those differences aside because of the number one factor in which they agree: “… on doing whatever it takes to be successful in Iraq, on finding and executing Osama bin Laden, and I agree with him on eliminating Al Qaeda and terror worldwide,”

He spent a truckload of his own money on the campaign but since the beginning he claimed, “It was never about him,” it was because he, “loves America” and wants to see the country improve. It looks like we’re heading towards an Obama vs. McCain showdown and that debate could be an interesting one. Obama has brushed up on his debating skills and his firm, hard tone won’t be overridden by McCain’s POW presence. With a Hillary vs. McCain ticket, I think the Democrats would be throwing another election right into the garbage can.

Can either Ron Paul or Mike Huckabee capitalize on the Romney Drop Out? It will be hard for them to do but we’re hoping they continue to battle it out. The more ideas discussed, the better off America will be.
