CNN is now reporting that 3 GOP sources tell them that Republican Mitt Romney will suspend his presidential campaign. Romney underperformed on Super Tuesday and it now appears he has no chance of beating Senator John McCain for the GOP nod. Goodbye, Mittens....

I'll miss you, Ken Doll.
Not...
...we hardly knew you.
One less millionaire........Next!!!!!!!!!
Pretty pathetic when there's no chance of beating John McCain... totally and utterly pathetic!
he will be back in 4 years....
Magic Undwear: Not So Magic, After All
Bye-bye, Flip Flopper. We hardly knew you -- or your sorry attempts to buy the Presidency!!

"You dislike me.... You REALLY dislike me!"
apparently Mitt thinks a prolonged battle for the nomination would aide terrorists in a time of war, ... I shit younot, thats hwat he is saying.
I guess in the end it turns out that Mitt puts his magic underpants on one leg at a time just like everyone else.
Where will his next political gig be and under what alias will he be working--liberal, conservative or conservaliberal?
I feel like Admiral Ackbar in Episode 6 when the Rebellion took down that supermassive Star Destroyer in the final battle.
This is a good day for the United States of America.
"Yes, we can."
Americans have a pretty good track record of rejecting millionaires who think that they can buy their way into the presidency.
NO MITT NO!!!!!!!
Mitt was Robo-Candidate.
Crackpot! That will teach you to strap a dog on top of the car. Arsehole.
Love the line in his concession speech that his staying in the race would increase a Clinton or Obama win, thus surrendering to terrorists...
Couldn't bow down graciously, could ya, Mitt? Just had to get that one last shot in before you walked away with your tail between your legs.
Good riddance, you smug asshole!!!!
Paul In SF @ 11:
Really? Since when?
Paul In SF @ 11:
Hillary just wrote herself a check for $5 Mil. Sayin' is all.
DAMN!!! I wish Him, Rudy and the other nuts would stay in. The more competition, the more these nutjobs exposed their nuttiness, trying to out 'Regan' each other.
I mean, didn't you look forward to Rudy's next tortured use of 9/11 in a completely unrelated context?
Didn't you love watching Mitt beg for religious tolerance by professing how religious he was?
C-Span2 is carrying it live.
bling bling y'all!
tee..hee... hate media goes apoplectic.....
Gonna be funny to see Huck, Rob and McCain debates.
QUITTER!
You could have had so many more delegates if you just paid them the million-dollars-apiece that you spent for them in your meaningless campaign. Not very economical. Some businessman you are.
Too damn bad. Plus now everyone knows just what kind of a loser you are.
Mittens just said, inter alia, that "size does matter." It's one weird speech.
Na na na na, na na na na,
Hey Hey Hey
GOOD-BYE!
Na na na na, na na na na,
Hey Hey Hey
GOOD-BYE!
GOOD RIDDANCE!
I have never been more serious in my life, either! Democracy in this country itself dodged a bullet today!
RB-Chicago @ 21:
Now who's Glenn Beck Limpaws going to support? !
Guess now his 5 sons can sign up to serve in Iraq since they'll no longer be serving our country by campaigning for their dad!
@ Vermifax #10 - "IT'S A TRAP!!!"
who let the dork out?
But, my brother-in-law the Republican said Mitt was the obvious best candidate. How can this be?
Sweet. one down. Now McCain next. Then Huckabee.
LOL He's talking about 'merka being the best 'weapon' for peace and how poor ol' 'merkan culture is being 'attacked'.
Sing the reslug theme song loud and proud mittens "War war war war war war war... doo daaaaa dooo daaaaa, war war war war war war war, profits all day lonnnnnng"
[sung to the tune of camptown races]
Um... "Opportunities in our dna?" is he fucking kidding? Hey mittens your elitist underwear is showing.
Lets seal the deal: James Dobson should declare his candidacy immediately. He should run as the Evangelical candidate and the perfect person to split the Repug vote.
In fact all right-wing fundies should write-in Dobson as their man this November whether he's on the ballot or not.
Anyone care to start this movement?
Go Huckabee!
McCain could beat the dem Huckabee doesn't stand a chance. The repubs I have talked with can't vote for either McVain or Mitt or Huck. So they are staying home! and the poll numbers show that as well, with dem voters in the 100's of thousands and erpubs in the 10's of thousands. With those numbers we really should win the WH.
America, brace yourself! Without Romney's campaign spending, a serious and deep recession is on the horizon.
elvis @ 28:
Mitt will conveniently now say that the Iraq War is just not worth it and we should have never gone in.
It's a 2-pig race!
Rusty Shackleford @ 31:
Tell your sister to get a divorce.
I bet huck celebrates tonight by frying extra squirrels in his popcorn popper.
Mark @ 32:
Agreed. I consider myself an economic Conservative and I can say flat out that no matter who wins out of McCain and Huckabee I will be voting for someone else. At least the Democratic candidates have some idea about how the economy works. McCain stated he knows nothing about it and Huckabee sounds like he is running to be a grand inquisitor for the Spanish Inquisition.
All he can talk about is how the libruls are giving away money to the undeserving masses and how the reslugs have to "end entitlement" LOL!!!
Hilarious! Coming from him it's fucking high comedy!
i smell the work of Larry Flynt all over this
Travis @ 6:
Yes, let's focus on what's sacred in his religion rather than his political beliefs.
Pershaps, had he been a Jew, you could have said "Guess that yamika didn't get you aHEAD! HA HA HA"
Fucking moron.
pissed off patricia @ 40:
Ouch! I can just picture those furry little critters hopping and popping!
Thanks for a good laugh.
Buh-bye.
mrplow @ 44:
The only difference between Mormonism and Scientology is a handful of decades. Seriously, read up on Joseph Smith and get back to me with your accusations of bigotry. Mormonism is nothing but a cult run by hucksters.
"WTF !!??!?!"
-CPAC-
mrplow @ 44:
don't get yer magic underwear in a bunch, it was funny. Besides, Mittens had no political beliefs.
pissed off patricia @ 40:
More than likely Huck will celebrate by having some suspected witches his minions caught burned at the stake.
Travis @ 47:
Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb... Dumb Dumb... Dumb Dumb !
Travis @ 47:
It's all crap. Doesn't matter what era the hucksters come from.
*sings* na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey, hey-ay, good-bye.
Sorry about draining your bank account for nothing, hahaha!
Joe O. @ 50:
With a dog sacrifice by his son for the climax.
Travis @ 47:
What? You don't believe in "seeing stones"?
Undercover Brother @ 43:
oh man, that would be brilliant!
the best part is the Guy Smiley is $20 million lighter in the wallet.
maybe now his boys can stop serving america by rolling around in the motorhome and join the military.
goatsage @ 55:
"Oh wow, seeing stones, can I use them?"
"Uhmmm...no"
Can I have one of Mitt's gold medals?
mrplow @ 44:
What Travis wrote is pretty much paraphrases what was said on the CNN clip.
i'd say this is great exciting, but i wanted him win over mccain.
owning mittens in debates would have been a blast.
But he's joining the Democratic race!
Romney's smile doesn't seem to be forced (as he gives his withdrawal speech). I think he's happy for it to be over.
Wha,wha,wha...... Don't let the door hit ya on the way out!
no more mittens the pander-bear? :(
MEANIES!
Mitt leaving is really no big deal. You didn't think the GOP would nominate a Massachusetts LIBERAL to the WH did ya ?
Mutt attacked the majority of America during his farewell rant; moderates, libruls, unions, anti-war, pro-choice, pro-education, pro-health, anti-murder, anti-death, etc., etc., etc.,
Travis @ 47:
Or, on the superficial level you're apparently operating on, a handful of celebrities.
This leaves them with McCrazy and Huckanuts. Do I smell a Crazy Ticket?
Don Davis @ 61:
well, he IS a liberal.
Dr. Matt @ 66:
His audience was CPAC.
'nuff said.
goatsage @ 55:
Nope. And i don't believe in burning bushes, or parted red seas, or Muhammad as a prophet, 72 virgins, L. Ron Hubbard, or creationism.
But I also don't mock any of them for it. Because it breeds hatred, and when it all boils down, people are all the same. Tolerance means respecting other people's beliefs, not just the ones who you're not afraid of. Would you be writing this kind of shit about muslims? Mocking a mormon's "magic underwear" is no different that mocking a muslim's "raghead." you can tell me to get off it all you want. Equality goes both ways, bigotry is bigotry.
The wingnuts couldn't put aside their bigotry to support a Mormon.
Ya think they're gonna allow a black or woman into the White House.
Nope.
The Dems have given them fuel to rocket them to the voting booths on election day.
Travis @ 47:
Huckster? I thought he was an evanvelical christian? And as such I thought he was head of the morons, not mormons!
Chico @ 70:
Of course. CPAC = the lowest common denominator in society.
Chico @ 65:
Instead there going to nominate an Arizonian Liberal?
Hey! Filthy Harry:
"DAMN!!! I wish Him, Rudy and the other nuts would stay in. The more competition, the more these nutjobs exposed their nuttiness, trying to out ‘Reagan’ each other."
Don't forget! Ron Paul is still in. So we have McCain (who will drop out for health reasons), God Hearts Huckabee and Ron Paul. Suddenly Ron Paul is looking better and better. If it weren't for Paul's damn stand against our unconstitutional invasion and occupation of Iraq, he'd probably have Rush and Ann backing him instead of Clinton. It just gets curiouser and curiouser......
So, for the moment you still have those 3 nutjobs left to shit talk about! Look on the bright side!!
Rusty Shackleford @ 31:
Ha-ha!! My brother too.
Liberal AND Proud @ 72:
As we did last time with abortion. Dem numbers in the primaries are really high, repubs are really low, and gonna be a lot of repub no shows in the general election. GOTV on election day.
Will he get his money back?
BobD @ 78:
Start by registering people now.
Only in the Republican party will you find that the dumbest bastards rise to the top (Ex. Bush). We shall soon see who the dumbest of them all is.
Things are going to be very interesting at CPAC this afternoon when Romney officially announces the suspension.
And then McCain is supposed to show up... Dare say he's going to need the same protection he had going into that Iraqi marketplace.
Well at least now his boys are free to join the military now that they are no longer serving the country by getting Papa elected.
In the last debate he said his 2nd biggest regret in life was not joining the military , an obvious lie like so many things this asshole has said . I guess he will now have to move that to number 3 and being a crazy ass MORMON to number 2 . You can also say goodbye to Muck Hickabee .
Huckanuts... I like it. Has a good ring.
Now Billary needs to do the same and recognize she now stands in the way of the inevitable...
Oh good- now his sons can enlist.
mrplow @ 71:

Islam is an ancient tradition based on an even more ancient tradition. Mormonism is a money-making scheme concocted by a 19th century con man, and in it's short history has been behind murders, racist and sexist policies, and attempts to subvert the US government. And grouping in Scientology with legitimate (i.e.: not for profit) religions shows that in your eager rush to decry any criticisms as bigotry you managed to actually learn anything about the topic you're discussing. As hesitant as I am to ever cite it as a source, I am begging you to go read the wikipedia entries on Mormonism, Joseph Smith, Scientology, and L. Ron Hubbard.
Inherent disdain and distrust for confidence schemes and murderous cults isn't the same thing as bigotry.
Im so glad this asshole is gone. Of everyone running he was the worst of the bunch.
Cat Atomic @ 87:
It will more than likely be the wives of his sons that enlist first. In families like that, the women tend to have more balls than the men.
Abbybwood @ 76:
Yeah but McCain will effectively ignore Huck, and the media will ignore RonPaul. The media narrative which they will follow like the faithful servants they are is that McCain IS the nominee.
He gave the "time of war" bullshit.
Buh Bye.
Tim @ 75:
True dat, but thanx to Kennedy and Kerry, GOP'ers see Mass. as Hell on Earth. Arizona is still "OK" with them.....
..... for now.
Tim @ 75:
BOMB BOMB BOMB...BOMB BOMB IRAN...plays very well in Arizona...and New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas, Illinois, Iowa, the Dakotas, West Virginia....
Two questions now answered:
Can a moron be president? Yes.
Can a Mormon be president? No.
This is NOT good news for Democrats. McShame is very popular with Independents, veterans and also conservative Dems (yes, there are conservative Democrats). Hillary would have a very difficult time against McShame. Obama could take him, I think, because of the marked differences in their energy, ages (hey, I'm McShame's age, so it's not ageism if I do it lol). McShame then would really represent the past while Obama shows us the future of our country. I only wish it could have been Edwards opposing McShame.
Joe O. @ 90:
There's an image I didn't need! LOL!
They must wear some reallllly interesting panties.
So I just read that Mitt is cuttin n' runnin so that he doesn't hurt any Repub's chances of getting into the White house this time:
(From CNN):
"In this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror"
So to Mitt, that's what you're doing if you support Obama or Hillary instead of a Republican - surrendering to terror. WTF!!!!!
How do they get away with this shit?
Why doesn't he get tarred and feathered for spewing this kind of bullshit?
Why why why???????
Fuck you and good riddance Shitt! I guess you are pretty decent with numbers you phony asshat. You were nothing but a well dressed whore.
Joe O. @ 90:
Same could be said about the GOP in general.
If you have a military background (ie McCain, Hagle), they hate you and call you "weak on defense"
If you ran away from the military like a sissy (ie too many Repugs to list), they love you ans call you 'strong on defense'.
and yet, they wonder why Americans are bailing their party like rats on a sinking ship.
Bye bye ya plastic phony fake creep. It's bad enough
