Romney's Race Ends

I was initially going to record the results of Super Tuesday, but decided against that overly-belated post. Likewise, a majority of US citizens have probably seen those results broadcasted across news stations ad nauseum.  Instead, I think it is appropriate to have a moment of silence for Mitt Romney's campaign. May it rest in peace alongside the shattered hopes of Rudy Giuliani and John Edwards, where it will certainly be in good company.

It is just another day in the world of politics, one step forward for any individual is another step backward for his or her opponent. The infectious Massachusetts governor, with his immaculately presidential haircut, announced that he was suspending, and ultimately withdrawing, his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Romney, who had spent more on his campaign than any other nominee (approximately $88 million dollars), withdrew only days after Super Tuesday. Apparently he did not garner enough delegates in the recent primaries, needed in order to sustain his campaign. His withdrawal clears the path for Arizona senator, John McCain. McCain's nomination is now all but imminent. Mormon Mitt will be heading, at long last, home. The Election will sorely miss him.
