Conservative pundit and noted Mitt Romney man-crush victim Hugh Hewitt on Wednesday, February 6 — “Like Reagan In ‘76, Romney Is Staying In”:

Governor Romney and Governor Huckabee have crucial messages to deliver as well, about why they are in the race and how they see the GOP shaping its appeal for the fall. They can also assist the GOP in rebuilding its grass roots effort in places like Ohio and Virginia that suffered big losses in 2006…

Both Romney and Huckabee have said they are staying in, and that’s good news for the GOP.

The Associated Press on Thursday, February 7 — “McCain Seals GOP Nomination As Romney Suspends Campaign”:

“If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win.

“This is not an easy decision for me. I hate to lose. My family, my friends and our supporters… many of you right here in this room… have given a great deal to get me where I have a shot at becoming President. If this were only about me, I would go on. But I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America.”

Doh!
