Romney Suspending Campaign

The Washington Post is reporting that Mitt Romney will suspend his campaign, and announce it this afternoon in his speech to the Conservative Political Action Committee.

I do love the detail of these “leaks.” According to the story, Romney will say:

“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.”

At least he still has his illusions.

Update: I note that by the time I posted this, the speech had been given, so probably it was an advance copy rather than a detailed leak.
