The AP reports Mitt Romney has dropped out of the race for the GOP Republican nominee. Romney made the announcement

“If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention… I forestall the launch of a national campaign, and frankly I would be making it easier for Sen. Clinton or Obama to win,’’ Romney said to calls of “no… no… no’’ in the packed hall of the Conservative Action Political Convention in Washington.

As the Chicago Tribune observes this leaves the GOP with an interesting dilemma:

Now that Romney is out of it, Republicans will face increasing pressure to choose between a candidate with momentum and a message that he is best-suited to give the Democrats a run for their money in November – McCain – and a candidate who aligns most closely with the party’s social conservatives, Huckabee.

Looks like Ann Coulter’s going to be campaigning for Hillary.
