US08: Romney’s out, unless of course Al-Qaeda step in…

Romney has suspended his candidacy, rather than withdrawn it – a technicality which means he’s still in the race. What’s he hoping for? Huckabee won’t split the ticket. He’s hoping, of course, that McCain will have a stroke before the Convention and be out of the running, and the party will have no-one else to turn to. It’s a long shot, but it sounds a hell of a lot better bet than the thirty million he pissed up against the wall in his lacklustre, America’s CEO, campaign, writes Guy Rundle.
