Romney Drops Out - Punditish

Romney Drops Out

The news rushed around the Internet in the minutes leading up to this CPAC speech, but Romney just made it official; he's bowing out gracefully.

He made reference to a couple of issues that he and McCain differ on, but in the end, he did the right thing and emphasized the importance of electing someone committed to winning in Iraq. It's the menschy thing to do, and I salute him for it.

That said, if the crowd's reaction to some of Romney's lines is any indication, McCain might have a rough time out there.

UPDATE: according to Politico, CPAC is asking its members not to boo McCain. You'd think this would go without saying.
