Romney Suspends Campaign at CPAC (VIDEO)
Today at CPAC, Presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, announced the suspension of his campaign. This has to be one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard him give, and it’s kind of reminiscent of how I felt after that one performance by Fred in one of the last debates: “Where has THIS guy been?” I voted for Romney, and I’m pissed about what Huckabee and McCain did together. Yes, I know, all politicians do it. But when you put yourself out there as holier than thou like Huckabee did from the get-go, then he loses my respect when he out-and-out lies claiming McCain was the real conservative over Romney. And the thing is, I liked Huckabee in the beginning, mostly because of the FairTax, but I knew he didn’t have a snow-ball’s chance in hell to win - and still doesn’t.
Funny thing to me, though, is Mitt’s choice of term to use about his campaign - suspension. He didn’t say he was dropping out. He didn’t say he was quitting. His delegates, at this point, are still in play. This may be a stretch, but perhaps we shouldn’t count him out yet.
Oh, and if McCain is smart (which requires another form of suspension - of disbelief) he would select Romney as his running mate.
Watch Mitt’s rousing speech here.

Romney choice to suspend his campaign has only one purpose: “Money”
He ‘loan’ his campaign some big dough. Now if he ends his campaign, he will never be able to recover any of it. However if he just suspends his campaign and gives the illusion he’ll ride back into the race, his campaign can keep collecting money and then return the money he loaned. Don’t hold your breath on him returning or becoming the VP running mate.
