Romney quits race, eyes
2012
The presidential race Mitt Romney planned
for years crashed to a halt Thursday, stopped in its
tracks by the surprisingly durable John McCain campaign
and by Romney's failure to quell concerns about his
shifts on key issues, his political persona and his
Mormon religion.
"He should be president. 2012," the confidant e-mailed after
talking to Romney.
Making the dramatic announcement at the annual
Conservative Political Action Conference at a Washington
hotel, Romney clearly hoped to preserve the goodwill of
his party for another possible bid in 2012. He intends
to run again in four years, according to a senior member
of his inner circle.
