it appears ole flip-flop mitt will "suspend" his campaign to become the republican presidential nominee today.after an abysmal showing on super tuesday (hell, huckabee did as well if not better than he did), romney has decided it's time.
my understanding is that "suspending" a campaign is different in both parties.
from cnn.com:
On the Republican side, decisions on how to allocate delegates is left to the state parties.so...whatever that means. i guess he's done.
On the Democratic side, a candidate who "suspends" is technically still a candidate so he or she keeps both district and statewide delegates won through primaries and caucuses. Superdelegates are always free to support any candidate at any time, whether the candidate drops out, suspends or stays in.
National party rules say that a candidate who "drops out" keeps any district-level delegates he or she has won so far but loses any statewide delegates he or she has won.
mitt is expected to make the announcement this afternoon at the CPAC.
no more hottie romneys on the campaign trail.
quelle dommage.
