Romney out!

NPR is reporting that Mitt Romney will announce he is suspending his campaign at the Conservative Conference later today.

I imagine this will be diaried by others pretty soon, and if someone beats me to the post I will delete.
This is a small piece of bad news I believe. I think we're much better off with the Republican fight being as nasty as possible and Romney was just wonderful in that regard.
I can't wait to see what the commentariat on the right, Rush, Hannity etc. will have to say about this.
It's now left to Huckabee to keep the Republicans fighting each other and taking pot shots at McCain.
