Because my roommate demanded a post on the exit of Mitt Romney from the Presidential race--here it is:
I am ecstatic that Mitt Romney is out of the race. I don't believe that it has been any secret on this blog that I do not have a lot of respect for the campaign Romney waged. He pandered cynically and unapologetically attacked his honorable opponents with swift-boat like tactics. He campaigned on the CEO strategy, but as Barack Obama has joked--he did not receive great return on his investment.
HOWEVER, I happen to think that Mitt Romney may very well have learned valuable lessons in this campaign. If rumors are true, then perhaps he will run again. The man is not without talent, but he is like a young quarterback with a strong arm but with no seasoning. If he is self-reflective enough then perhaps this campaign gave him the seasoning he needed. This will make him stronger for the future. If he spends the next few years out and about around the country, keeping his name in the news, finding a transformative project where he can show his ability to turn organization's around, then he may have a shot at his party's nomination in 2012.
For now, good riddance to my fellow native Michigander.

Are you saying Mitt Romney is like Jay Cutler?
"Oh look, its jay cutler. You suck now, but my dad says you might be good one day."
Does this mean you are voting for McCain now?????? Jason
