Romney Dropping Out
    #7991113 - 02/07/08 10:48 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

WASHINGTON, Feb 7 (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will suspend his campaign, a Republican Party source said on Thursday, a decision that would make Sen. John McCain the all-but-certain nominee of his party.

A Republican Party source said the former Massachusetts governor might make his suspension announcement in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday.

"Romney's run a good campaign and he can live to fight another day," said the source familiar with the situation, speaking on condition of anonymity. "He has a huge future in the party nationally."

Romney lost 14 of 21 states on Super Tuesday, the biggest day of U.S. presidential voting ahead of November's election, as Arizona Sen. McCain savored coast-to-coast wins and cemented his position as front-runner.

He had vowed to fight on after Super Tuesday, but he and his campaign advisers discussed the situation on Wednesday. Romney has been helping to bankroll his campaign using his own personal wealth.

The McCain campaign declined immediate comment.

You don't get it. Romney dropped out because it was mathematically almost impossible for him to beat MacCain. And Romney had more delegates than Huckabee. Therefore, McCain (barring his dropping dead before November) will be the Republican presidential candidate.

no, i get it. romney failed at winning, thus he is a loser

now the only "conservative" alternative to mccain is huckabee, so he should expect to pick up more of the votes which would have gone to romney. theres a pretty sizable and very vocal group of conservatives which cant stand mccain, and want to vote for someone other than him. did i say anything about huckabee winning? no, but i dont like the idea that a candidate is already chosen without giving the remaining states much of a say in it. so i would like to see huckabee do well, and maybe win a few unexpected states and start polling over 20%. thats what id like to see, a race that goes all the way to the convention. whats wrong with that? what dont i get?

i like the idea of someone standing up for what they believe in, if they truly do believe in themselves and have differences from the other candidates, even if they dont have much of a chance to win....like ron paul, you dont see him dropping out just cause hes only got 14 delegates...

if i was romney i would have at least not talked a ton about how i was gonna keep fighting after super tuesday no matter how i do, the same way john edwards kept talking about taking it all the way to the convention, if your continuing the race only based on how your gonna do, you shouldnt make absolute statements about how long you are gonna stay in

plus, i would argue that it wasent "mathematically" impossible for him to win, you need 1191 delegates to win...theres 1067 delegates remaining to be chosen, about 45% of the delegates, mccain has 714, romney had 286...whats 286 plus 1067? its more than 1191 isnt it? so how does that qualify as being "mathematically" impossible? ... it might be highly unlikely that he would win all the delegates, but im not sure how you can say that its mathematically impossible for him to win, if you wanna say its impossible based on how he and mccain are polling in states thats one thing, but there is a definition of the word mathematically, and the way its being applied is wrong...if mccain had 1191 delegates then it would be mathematically impossible for romney to win

No way McCain would beat out Hillary or Obama. Be looking for fucked upness out of those two.

I don't get what is going on.

The NH polls should that 67% of republicans voting were against the war, yet they delivered the win to Pro war, 100 years in Iraq , Bomb Bomb Iran singing McCain.

In Florida, polls showed the the economy was the biggest issue with Republican voters. They delivered the win " I don't know shit about economics" admitting McCain.

:crazy:

I think Obama will end up more popular in the end, but Hillary has the super delegates in her pocket and the Queen of the neocons is telling her court to vote Hillary over McCain.


Bill and Hillary back in the WH for 4 more years. Unbelievable.

did I fail to make clear?

As for Huckabee, anyone who thinks McCain is only gonna pick up another 73 delegates by the time the last primary has been tallied is someone naive enough to believe Ron Paul ever had a chance of becoming the Republican nominee.

Why on earth would Huckabee keep campaigning knowing he can't win? Why spend all that money and energy for nothing?

So melodramatic.

You'll be okay, I promise. The country is stronger than you think it is. I think the last 7 years have been a disaster, but we're still alive and kicking.

You'll be fine.

Literally impossible, or highly improbable? With 2380 delegates available, there are still 1183 up for grab (assuming I did my math correctly). I may be missing something, but from the cheap seats, it appears that improbable is more accurate than impossible. If McCain were to get 0 delegates from now on, and Romney were to get all available delegates from now on, who would win the nomination?

> I think the last 7 years have been a disaster,

Personally, I am worried about the eight years prior to the last seven repeating themselves, resulting in another mess like we are in now. The only thing we need less than another eight years of Bush dynasty is another eight years of Clinton dynasty.

Let’s just get this crap over with and vote for the WORSE of two evils.


--------------------
America's debt problem is a "sign of leadership failure"

We have "reckless fiscal policies"

America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.

Americans deserve better

I'm not so sure about that. When I picture a McCain vs. Clinton election I see an opportunity for the GOP smear machine to really get its feet wet (not to say that the DNC isn't just as underhanded, I just think the Republican party is better at making their opponnent look terrible). I think Obama is a harder target. Less dirt on his hands, and not as much of a foil in personna to McCain's tough guy image, which is probably the best thing McCain has going for him. Despite the unpopularity of the war, the American public has a permanent John Wayne fetish.

About Romney dropping out: The first thing I saw today on the DC metro on my way to work was a headline "McCain calls for unity within the GOP." Then the next thing I hear, Romney is dropping out. :lol: The politics within politics is always amusing to watch.

I disagree that McCain wouldn't beat Hillary. He'd beat her like a rented mule.

Obama is a different question, but I personally think there's enough time between now and November for the voters to realize electing the closest thing to a Commie currently serving in the US Senate is a bad idea. Therefore, McCain wins that matchup as well, though perhaps not by as much.

The biggest concern isn't the four years the US will suffer under a liberal president, but the possible four decades more the US will suffer with a left-leaning Supreme Court. There will certainly be at the very least two Supremes appointed between now and 2012, and maybe as many as four. There's almost no way to describe how much damage a Leftie SCOTUS will do in four decades.

This is why I shudder at the thought of even a McCain win. Given his disdain of Judge Alito and his role as one of the Gang of Fourteen, I'm unsure he can be counted on to appoint non-activist judges no matter what he says now on the campaign trail.

The US can survive almost any number of bad decisions by an executive in a mere four year stretch. But it cannot survive the steady stream of legislation from the bench a Leftie SCOTUS would churn out over the course of decades.

I mostly say McCain can't do it is because of voter turn out. The Dems have been creaming the Republicans in voter turn out. The Republican party shrunk to much over the last 8 years.

America has already heard the dirt on Hillary.

McCain is the one, who could easily be shredded further with new news to them.

People in NH said they came across people who voted for McCain because they thought he wanted to end the war because he was a POW.

There are who knows how many people who voted for him that don't even know much about him other then that he is a Senator, was a POW and has a popular name in Politics. They can hear much more from the Democrat machine to turn them off to McCain come general election time.

That's all even as if you were looking at this as if we have fair elections and a fair media at play.

I think Hillary was was the puppeteers pick from the get go and it looks like the the staged illusion was not able to be dispelled in this round.

I'll bet just one person here $100 that the Dems will win the WH.

Who wants it?

And two more Conservative SC Justices would be a bloody picnic?

If you were to put up there two idiots like Romney likely would, in four years they'll be outlawing the teaching of evolution, making homosexuality illegal, and forcing the telecom industry to put mandatory surveillance equipment on every phone they sell.

The fiscal wing of your party is dead.

The only things you have left (right) are the Boogeyman of Islamic Terrorism and your Jesus-Freak buffoonery.

I will be thrilled to keep the idiots out of the SC who would legitimize either one of these issues.

:thumbup: Right on. The Republican party and their likely SC nominees would continue to erode civil liberties and church-state boundaries in the name of national security and family values and that's the last thing this country needs. Ignorance and stupidity have held office for 8 years, it's enough already. Thanks but I'll take my chances with the pinko liberals.

Massive increase in taxes to pay off war debt along with all the socialist spending that will occur. Where the energy companies are profiting now, the pharmaceutical and medical companies will take their place. The war will continue, as that is the globalist agenda, regardless of political affiliation. Illegal aliens will be welcome with open arms to take jobs from poor Americans. And if Billary wins, we can expect tears to flow any time she doesn't get her way. Oh wait, that was a charade... I don't think the witch has real tears.

Why not? Those are all legislatively possible. The Court can't forbid those things, it can only say that the legislature can't forbid them. It says a lot about you that you prefer the rule of oligarchs instead of a democracy.

They are already taking DNA samples in Random Traffic Stops in Florida. I wonder if 'Dub~ya' Gave bubba permission to do that...

And now one of the World's Top Scientists to pushing to Jail Politicians that refuse to believe in Global Warming.

Globalist Agenda is a sure fire method of achieving a police state.

Gonzalez v. Oregon, Gonzalez v. Carhart, and Morse v. Frederick. And that's just from 3 minutes of searching. Keep in mind this is also the court that commited the 2000 coup, and which hasn't ruled against blatant violations of habeas corpus, the most fundamental right in Western law.

Does having a Muslim parent = a Muslim upbringing?

And that somehow bars him from office?

It does not, nor is there a law that prevents the spouse or immediate relative of a former President from running for office. But it appears we need new laws to address these issues. Now the precendent has been set for Jenna Bush to run for presidencey when she is old enough.

Fraggin... I saw the e-mail where that blatant propaganda comes from. If you're going to be intolerant at least try to be informed. You'd benefit from a little scepticism and a touch of researching your claims. Hope this clears things up for you.

Nah. It was something I heard on NPR.
I really wouldn't even have an issue with Obama if he was Muslim in the past, at least he would be knowledgeable on the issues we face in the middle east..
My only beef is that I don't think it's fair to have a family dynasty in democratic government. Especially in the white house.

Ya, It gives me pause about the family dynasty too, but you speak of it like there is no precedence. The Adams, the Harrisons, the Roosevelts, the Bushes, and those are the ones who are directly related.

If you ask me the more concentrated the wealth becomes in our country the more likely we will have family dynasties.

Actually, one says you, and the other says I. Not to mention, I'm a paradoxical being, so I'm quite contradicting internally and very wishy washy.

I actually wanted to See Romney in close runnings though I don't necessarily agree with Morman doctrine, or any religeon based on noncanonical doctrines. But he seemed like a good enough guy. Having said that, and being paradoxical, I enjoy reading lots of Gospels and Documents that were not chosen to be in the Good Book.

Romney also has his future presidential campaign to consider in making this decision. If he pours the rest of his money in attempting to make an unlikely comeback into this one it will likely mean no campaign come 2012.

So we're at war with Islam? That's news to me. And probably to our government, which has taken great pains to dispel that very notion, because they realize that's exactly how Osama Bin Laden and others want to frame our "War on Terror". See, I thought we were fighting against terrorism and religious extremism(at least, abroad. We seem to have no problem with our own religious fanatics), not anyone who's ever turned to Mecca or glanced at the Koran. That's like saying "Well hey we're struggling against despotic African regimes so we shouldn't elect any black guys because they could be all like 'hey, mr. President of Sudan, I know things have been tense over that whole Darfur thing, but that's OK, cuz we brothers, you feel me? Kill Whitey! DYNOMITE!'"

What's offensive is that you're willing to impugn Obama's patriotism not because of any evidence or logic, but because he's black and his name sounds foreign("Obama? More like Osama bin Laden am i rite?"). That's racism. And the idea that a progressive presidential candidate who supports gay civil unions and the separation between church and state is somehow Osama Bin Laden's Manchurian Candidate is both paranoid and preposterous. Or, more succinctly, idiotic.

Could you at least try? You haven't provided any specifics, whereas right off the top of my head I can think of some permanent disasters two more Alitos could easily pull off:

No more reproductive freedom
No freedom for gay marriage or civil union
No stem cell research




Why not? Those are all legislatively possible. The Court can't forbid those things, it can only say that the legislature can't forbid them. It says a lot about you that you prefer the rule of oligarchs instead of a democracy.




So you would have no problem if the supreme court banned abortion, stem cell research and gay marriage nationwide? I don't see why they couldn't.

And what is this about me preferring the rule of oligarchs? I don't even understand what you're referencing.

What does it matter what a call her, a bitch, a cougar, a wampus cat. It's irrelevant. You can hardly assume I'm xenophobic based on an internet post about politics, and you really don't know me enough to call me a racist. And culture is not your friend in any circumstance.

Our own religeous fanatics are not stoning women for adultery and removing the heads of foreigners with dull machettes. The primary focus on the violence of certain extremist groups.

I can't find anywhere in any of my posts where I eluded to his skin color. You jumped to that conclusion pretty quickly. Racism is only a problem when it is evident. I'm not racist guy. You keep going back to that, so obviously you have some kind of hang up with racism. That's the interesting dynamic about racism. It's a dichotomous issue. Racism has to be taught and cultured to exist. And when people like you, are quick to point out racism in others, it only accelerates the idea of racism. It's comparable to giving a 5 year old a list of bad words that he should not say. He should go ahead and read them and memorize them so that he knows they are bad. It's people like you with a total lack of understanding on the process of cultural fallacies that keep ugly issues like racism alive.

Yet another judgemental undertone that you incenuated that I eluded to in which I did not.

That's racism.




Thanks for rejuvinating my mind with the ideals or racism. I had almost managed to think that I wasn't involved with anyone that was struggling with Racism. Apparently you like to turn people into racists by turning slights in their personalities into damning principles.

Seems to me, like you're offended by the stance that I chose to take, and have a right to take, towards the candidates that are competing for the chance to hold our highest office in government. If this bothers you, then perhaps you should find some other interest, like stamp collecting, or catching bugs or something.

I'm an insignifigant voter to an extent. All I will provide is a tally mark. Your personal views on others' opinons are so delusional that you are willing to attack anyone who doesn't conform to your Utopia idealology. You've labled me, called me names, assumed my perception to be, and above all, conveyed how offended you are with my ideas......

How do you think it feels for someone to be called a xenophobe and a racist whos is farther from being either of those than you may be?

tsk,tsk,tsk.

Many people who don't want to risk losing their job to failing a piss test opt for 'hard' drugs like meth, MDMA, opiates, and RCs rather than smoke pot because the 'hard' drugs clear in a long weekend (3 to 5 days), but pot can take a month.

So... it seems that drug testing is the gateway drug.

We can no longer rely on the government.
We must stand up and take care of ourselves.

No government has a hold on me. I am a man before anything. And I am my own man. Ill fight for my beliefs my rights and my land. Be the enemy forign or domestic.

No, you won't.

That's just talk.

After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action.  If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it.  - Ernest Hemingway

If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it.  In the law courts, in business, in government.  There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent.    -Cormac MacCarthy

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.  - Aeschylus

Get the fuck out of town.




His father was brought up a Muslim, but for a long time has been a confirmed ATHEIST. Get your facts straight people.
