After a disappointing Super Tuesday, the former Governor Mitt Romney suspends his campaign
for the Republican party nomination for the U.S. Presidency.

After investing over $35 Million dollars of his own money and winning six states and it’s delegates
from super Tuesday; he decides it’s time to suspend his campaign only to keep his delegates.
The bottom line is “Willard Mitt Romney made a poor investment in his own campaign.” Finishing a close second only to
John McCain. Romney’s move leaves McCain with a clear path to the Republican nomination to the U.S. Presidency.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are neck-and-neck in the Democratic race.

A spokesman for Senator McCain refused to comment on his rival’s withdrawal.

Mr Romney announced the suspension at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

“If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign
and frankly I’d be making it easier for Senator Clinton or [Barack] Obama to win,” Mr Romney said at the conference.

A successful businessman, he had planned to be the first US president from the Mormon religion.

But he failed to translate leads in opinion polls into victories in the early primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire.

In recent weeks, conservatives in the party rallied behind him as a candidate who they hoped could stop Senator McCain.

Officially Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul are still in the race, but they stand no realistic chance of victory.

The last stand of Willard Mitt Romney…… General Custard didn’t stand a chance either, but at least he went down with dignity.
