he shouldve taken a lesson from Arby's.  Mitts are just not marketable.

I think he's going to reemerge as Gecko Romney.

Romney should throw all his support behind huckabee, make the score closer. The Republican primary is a yawner right now.

All the radio talkers must be going into life arrest right about now.  There is no one except a Democrat for them to vote for.

Well, politics may not have been his thing: I could see him doing B movies: he looks like a B actor and his name seems B rated....

Im not entirely sure about this, but if he is merely "suspending" his campaign, doesn't he hold on to his delegates into the convention?

I'm really disappointed.  I was looking forward to the 20 First Ladies.

Romney spent $1.16 million per delegate.

It seems he would have been more frugal to just bribe super delegates the old-fashioned way.

I think he ran a good campaign.  At this point, the sooner Huck steps down, the sooner McCain can unify the party and sit back and watch Hillary and Obama divide their base.

Hillary likes to debate, because she is good at defending her ideas.  Obama likes to talk to the people because he is a fantastic public speaker.  Seems to me they would make a wonderful team.  

That said, I don't look forward to the tax increases or the zillion new programs that we can't afford.  

Do you think Hillary would listen to me if suggested that she decrease the size of government? LOL![:D]

I think he's hoping to position himself as McCain's VP choice.

If the Dem ticket goes Obama-Clinton, Romney will be in a good position to ride in on McCain's victory.

Do you think Hillary would settle for VP?  I just can't see it.  At least not without being the one actually pulling the strings behind the scenes.  And I don't see Obama going for THAT either.
