    Romney Steps Down. McCain Wins!

    Mitt Romney is about to announce that he will "suspend his campaign," thus conceding his run for the Republican nomination.


    John McCain now emerges as the Republican front-runner and prospective GOP nominee for the presidency. Whereas Super Tuesday has left the Democrats in a dead heat, it seems to have resolved the Republican contest. Mitt Romney's tepid showing has foreclosed his chances, and he is now admitting the inevitable.


    Thus, the GOP field now consists of John McCain and Mike Huckabee, and the latter is statistically out of the running. I have assumed that Huckabee's role in the campaign since Iowa has simply been to denigrate and siphon votes from Romney, bolster McCain and posture himself for a potential Vice-President position in a McCain White House. Four to eight years from now, this would nicely set Huckabee for another presidential bid, with heightened visibility to combat a potential Romney rematch.
