I am amazed it took Mitt Romney this long. He is a businessman so he had to have realized long ago that his investment in his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination was not a good investment.
CNN is now reporting that today, at CPAC 2008, Mitt Romney will announce that he is suspending his campaign for the GOP presidential nomination. This is still in the unconfirmed stages but is, in my mind, truly believeable.
Romney offered the GOP faithful a person who campaigned on heavy conservative principles. Yes, he was late coming to the party but he came. He is solidly in the conservative corner.
Romney offered the GOP faithful a person who had unbelieveable business credentials. His executive experience is not to be matched by candidates in either party. This aspect of Romney may have been the undoing of his campaign as Romney could look at the hard figures and do the analysis himself. He knew what was ahead and that the money for such a climb, and ultimately when looking on past support, the support was not there either.
