Romney Calls it Quits

As of today, John McCain is almost a lock to be the Republican candidate for president. With that fact, McCain now moves to a national campaign that will pit him againist either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, which could go to the convention.

Not long ago, McCain was out. So out that he was taken out of the top candidates to win the election, including yours truely. McCain's sudden rise seems to date back to the Joe Lieberman endorsement. Although he was out of Iowa, he was able to fight off Romney and take the New Hampshire crown. Certianly his defining moment came in South Carolina when McCain and Huckabee virtually fought for the frount runner spot and McCain came through again. By the time Flordia ended, and Romney gave his last gasp(pouring millions of dollars in the process), McCain shined and there was no longer any denying him.

For Romney, the miracle he needed for Super Tuesday ended with less than impressive, even being bested by a fading Mike Huckabee in many cases, it was over.

Lucky for Republicans, he decided to drop now rather than drag things along any further. Now the only question is, Clinton or Obama?
