Nothing official yet.

4. We won't have Mittens to kick around anymore!

x(

[shaniqua6392]

5. Wow!

I did not think he was going to do that. Does this mean we will not have to look at his insipid little smile any longer? Yippeeee!!!

[TexasObserver]

6. He's probably been promised Sec of Treasury if McCain wins

... and a green light for 2012 if McCain loses.

Clearly, someone made him an offer he knows better than to refuse.

[tishaLA]

10. Yeah cuz he showed how good he is with finances

during this campaign.

[TexasObserver]

15. Because he wants to control the banks

[rucky]

16. Maybe not good, but VERY Republican.

[tishaLA]

7. He's only SUSPENDING, not quitting!

Oh.

[HughMoran]

14. Yeah, so did Edwards

It's just an accounting trick - he's toast.

[Maddy McCall]

23. IIRC, it also allows him to hold his delegates.

And leaves him on ballots.

I am SOOO hoping that he's made a deal with Huck. That's be beautiful!

[HughMoran]

I don't know what I am hoping for - other than chaos for the Republicans

:D

[Maddy McCall]

29. Same here.

Every time I turn on NPR, I hear laments that the Republican party is fracturing/dead/gone the way of the Whigs.

:rofl:

[MonkeyFunk]

8. good

he scared me. I think he'd be a more formidable candidate than McCain in the GE.

[electron_blue]

13. au contraire. I think he'd be easy for a Dem to beat. Esp in the south.

[Renew Deal]

22. He was the BFEE candidate

He will run again someday and he'll be a much better candidate.

[kentuck]

9. But Huck is still in...

A 2 candidate race will hurt McCain.

[Occam Bandage]

11. Apparently "I'm in it to the convention" this year means "I will drop out within 72 hours."

[southernleftylady]

12. oh great then huckleberry is going to be bigger! ugh nt

[TwilightGardener]

18. No--he is far behind, delegate-wise and is running out of southern states.

It's almost impossible for him to win, mathematically.

[thereismore]

17. Holy Prophet Joseph Smith! Didn't Mittens just say he is staying in the race? nt

[AzDar]

19. Everybody now: " Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah, Hey, Hey Hey,

GOODBYE.." ( I'm saving my pornographic version for Jan. 20, 2009)

:hi: Buh-Bye, Dickweed.

[Maddy McCall]

20. That's going to make a VERY interesting Republican race now.

Please, Mitt, throw your support to Huck. PLEASE!

[Blue-Jay]

26. That would be hilarious!

Doubtful, though.

[Maddy McCall]

28. McCain's albino head would explode.

[book_worm]

21. Willard, we hardly knew ye.

[massromantic]

25. BREAKING: Romney drops out...

... because it was interfering with his tanning salon schedule. in terms of money and time. poor little mittens.

[elixir]

27. I was hoping he would stick around to keep McCain busy. This isn't great news for dems.

I knew he wouldn't make it to the GE or even the convention, but, he was helping weaken McCain.

I heard there was some kind of repug meeting this morning determining who the party would throw their weight behind. I guess it was McCain.

[Imagevision]

30. Hooray! no more Gooliani and the flake Romney upsetting my dinner...
