Mitt Romney Ends Presidential Bid for White House

Some state republican parties are proclaiming that John McCain is the GOP nominee after Mitt Romney has dropped from the presidential race, and now several republican parties have to decide what to do with the delegates Romney has in various state primaries and caucuses.

However, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee still remains a significant concern to the McCain camp. Huckabee’s surprisingly strong showings in Iowa and taking nearly all sothern states could force McCain to firmly stay on the campaign trail for months. Huckabee plans to continue with his political campaign.

When GOP candidate George H.W. Bush lost the nomination to Ronald Reagan, Bush supporters pushed to have a Reagan-Bush presidential ticket. In 1980, supporters won as Reagan had chosen Bush as his running mate. It's not hard to see Romney or Huckabee supporters pushing for McCain to choose one of the two men to be his running mate. Or, will McCain surprise us all with someone from the senate?

As a matter of fact, Romney’s prepared comments about his exit from the race cited the relatively close number of overall votes that he and McCain have received to date in all the combined primaries and caucuses to date.

Romney supporters felt Huckabee was staying in the race to take potential votes away from Romney and thereby would boost McCain’s chances. Huckabee already has said he would have supported McCain over Romney had he been forced out of the race.

Huckabee was right about one thing during his Super Tuesday speech, "this is a two-man race."
