He was losing ground in PA and one recent poll had Romney way ahead.  Losing PA in spectacular fashion might've been more than he wanted to bear.  Plus he could've been running out of cash.  His daughter being sick could've been the straw that broke the camel's back.

Well, I still there there's a not insignificant number of Republicans that will be pissed they won't be able to vote for him in the coming primaries.  There's still a lot of important states left.  He should've hung in there, if only to continue the War On Teh Wimmin.

I'd be disappointed as well if I were on your side.

Oh, I don't know.  The way it stand now, a Democrat is going to win either way.  Even if he happens to have been nominated by GOP.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Kerry 2, the Revenge of Long Face.

Other than he will likely lose like him (and they spent time in Mass), I'm not really sure I get the comparison.  Kerry's number 1 bit was that he was very boring and uninspiring.  Mitt on the other hand is very good at getting people of all kinds to dislike him. He generates a lot more emotion that Kerry. :lol:

Yes and Gingrich is an idiot who got smacked down on that ad because he was found to have used french language sources in his thesis.  If you're going to try a card, at least show the whole play.

She's fine.  Well, maybe not fine but left the hospital last night.
Yes, but she's a Santorum baby.  Her going home from the hospital isn't as reliable a sign of good health as it normally is.

That's overstating it to an extreme, but as a lefty, I did always feel uncomfortable with the Santorum strategic voting since I really do feel much, much more comfortable with Romney than Santorum, if it comes to it.  I think it will be interesting to see if either Romney or Obama can really bring out the base, since neither of them are right or left enough.  I predict: low turnout.

Don't spoil it man.

In '08 Romney ran against McCain from the right. He hasn't moved leftward since then. Passing a health care bill in Massachusetts doesn't make him a Democrat.

Razgovory

Wait, I didn't know that Romney was to the right of McCain.  Anyway, the whole GOP shifted to the right.  Ideas that were mainstream in the GOP have now become liberal because Obama might support them.

It does to Republicans.
