Romney Takes One for the Team

Mitt Romney is done. He's suspended his campaign for the good of the party so Republicans can focus on stopping the Democrats.

I saw his speech. One of the best speeches I've seen from a Republican in a long while. He could be an asset to John McCain if the senator can suffer the former governor campaigning for him down the road.

I haven't been a Romney supporter but it takes a man of character to consider the greater picture and not just his own ego. Obviously the hard numbers were against him, but a lot of people wanted him to continue the fight. He isn't and that's good news for the Republicans.

I suspect, if McCain wins Virginia and Maryland next Tuesday, Huckabee will step aside too. The Republicans will have several months to cool off passions and rally behind McCain before the convention.
