Mitt Romney brought his campaign to an abrupt halt yesterday, essentially handing the Republican nomination to Sen. John McCain.

He believes it was the only moral thing to do, saying, "I must now stand aside, for our party and our country," at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.

At present, McCain leads the Republicans with 707 delegates, compared to Romney's 294 and Huckabee's 195.

While approximately 4 million people voted for Romney, versus almost 5 million for McCain, the difference comes in where they voted. McCain dominated in almost all of the high delegate-count states.

Mike Huckabee is expected to press on.

    That's one more down who would be so arrogant as to "toy" with our constitution with a "marriage" amendment. This leaves Huckabee to carry the fundamentalist torch...he was recently endorsed by James Dobson...the constitution looks a bit safer today;)
