Governor Romney just gave the best speech of his campaign. It was, of course, announcing his withdrawal from the Presidential race. But it was, in my view, the first sincere thing he’s done. And doing so earns him, deservedly, a tremendous amount of goodwill from conservatives and Republicans.
With Romney’s withdrawal, the Republican nomination belongs to Senator McCain. Governor Huckabee may continue for a bit, but he’s a non-factor.
Meanwhile, the Democratic race will continue, very likely until early summer or even the Democratic convention.
BTW, I should be over at CPAC later. For now, I’m liveblogging via television.

Just as I presume Hillary did, I shed a few tears over this announcement.
OK…let’s embrace the suck and win the war now.

I can’t help but wonder if we will see a McCain-Romney ticket in November.
McCain knows he can’t win the heart of the conservatives. I could see him choosing Romney to draw in the conservatives of the party.
