There are some murmurs that Republican Mitt Romney will drop out of the presidential race today. Time‘s Mark Halperin claims Romney will accept defeat during his speech, which happens to come right before John McCain’s.
Update: It’s official! Mormon and homophone Mitt Romney dropped out the race today. Here’s a bit of his speech:
I must now stand aside, for our party and our country… If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror.
…
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.
Apparently America doesn’t love Romney enough to keep him in the race. Shame…

Aww Mitten the Kitten – spend more of your 5 kid’s inheritence so that they might have to work for a living!!

He’s pretty cute. I wonder what he looks like under his ‘magic undergarments’?
-M-
Not only is Romney cute… attractive even! but so is that one son of his… God I keep forgetting his name! Anyway, he’s rather hot himself! Petty the little Mormon is married! Boo-hoo! :'(

*pity

I always thought that blond son of his – the one strategically mugging for the camera behind Kitten-Mitten – was a little light in his loafers.

Heh. While I’m happy that Crazy is dropping out, I have no doubt that his position will change on this, too. He’ll be back in the race by next Wednesday.

Are Mormon magic undergarments boxers or briefs ?
Any of the sons show a basket ?

I don’t like Romney, but I like McCain and the Huckster even less. So, I’m disappointed by this news. Although, Hillary is going to be our next president, so I’m not too disappointed.

There are several different styles of “Mormon magic underwear.” Most are like boxers, but they do make one style that are like boxer-briefs.

I get miffed at Obama and Hillary for misrepresenting each other’s records – and then I read malicious bs like this, that they want to “surrender to the terrorists.” H & O are Mother and Brother Teresa compared to the Republicans.

And don’t come back.

It’s Craig Romney! That’s the one I think is super cute! LOL!

So Mittens, now that you’re kids aren’t working to help you become President they should enlist to fight in this stupid war you LOVE so much

Ron Paul is the last chance for America to change course! If you do not change course now you will, I’m absolutely sure of that, bitterly, bitterly regret not having taken this one unique chance to have voted for change.
Gay marriage rights pale into total and utter insignificance compared to the true problems you are facing right now.

Mitt Romney a homophone? I guess if Huckabee wants to amend the Constitution, Romney can amend the English language.
Bitch Republic
At least two of Mitt’s sons make my gaydar go ballistic.

I like what Letterman said: He looks like a president of the US in a Canadian-made movie.

peter pan-
behind every major issue is a smaller issue related to the GLBT community.
the war- DADT; our brothers and sisters are good enough to fight and die in the war, but not to serve openly. when the war is over, will we see all these people who put their life on the line being discharged under DADT?
healthcare- will universal healthcare include coverage for same-sex partners, children?
social security- we pay into it, but our spouses won’t receive benefits.
education- will our families be represented in schools?
i think we need a candidate who understands equality, and though those who have openly supported gay marriage are no longer in it, there are clearly lines drawn between those who support us, and those who think we’re second class citizens.

I’d rather vote for RuPaul than Ron Paul!!!

I have pondered and pondered- is there a person of less substance than Mitt Romney? Not equal, but less. And come up empty.

I’m not making this up, you can look for yourself Metrotimes.com, archives, Jack Lessenberry’s column called Politics and Prejudices – about 3 or 4 issues ago, he mentioned the Mittster put his dog in a cage, strapped it to the family station wagon and drove on the FREEWAY from Boston to Philly or something like that. The dog crapped himself and all over the car. When Mittster arrived at his destination, he reportedly just hosed of the dog and the car as if he did nothing wrong. I can’t imagine why this didn’t cause a bigger stir. What a moron. Does that say anything to you about his judgement and sensitivity?
