Yes. He's "suspending his campaign", which is how John Edwards described it when he dropped out.

This is great news! Romney's a flip-flopping, military-bashing, chickenhawk douche!

He also bleeding staff and support like a hemorrhage, as word gets around of where all that money came from.
He's only suspending, rather than dropping out, cause he wants to pocket those delegates and see if he can use them to bounce fellow religious fanatic Huck-aberry over McCain, whom he dislikes rather intensely - a feeling entirely mutual since McCain's personal experiences with the "treatment regimen" Romney supports for teens tend to give him a dim view of Romneys best friends and top financiers, at the very least.
I find his restraint in being able to cohabit the same room with the man and not kick his ass quite admirable, although admittedly I do not like McCain or his positions, particularly taking AIPAC money to support their agenda rather than the american peoples.
But then, as compared to Billary and Obamalama, a nettle sandwich is more preferable than a poison pill, but only by so much...

Oh I think he's a decent guy, that's the problem.
Know what happens when you elect decent people with little experience into our political system ?
They get steamrollered, blindsided, and blocked in by the opposition - remember, I supported Jennifer Granholm for MI Governer, and she's a great person, fantastic lawyer... not so much a politician.
The budget crisis up here was started by an outright lie, that our budget was sucking wind - and she took that on face value, see...
This was followed up by the folks she assigned the job of fixing that NOT doing so, quite deliberately, to cause a phony crisis and force unwanted and unpopular tax increases - and it was inconceivable to her that someone employed by the state to do a job would sandbag it, the state and the people, for political gain, she was totally blindsided by it.
And then when the truth finally DID come out, that we had a budget *surplus* rather than a deficit, thanks in great part to her teams cutting a lot of that Rethug pork, what did they do by try to porkbarrel it and actively fight any reduction of the fuel tax here to give some relief to us peons!
Add in the usual bag of political dirty tricks and universally Rethug-friendly media, and the lady is swamped under trying to do a job where everyone SHOULD be on board, but is instead poking holes in the boat - and she's not nasty enough to start throwing them overboard.
Obama is too nice, doesn't have a lot of the necessary contacts to get things done outside the system (as fucked up as our system is, sometimes you NEED those to get ANYTHING done) and doesn't have the experience or ruthlessness to do anything but get pilloried by the established, firmly entrenched, NeoCon Cabalists.
Ron Paul may not be mean, but he's got a spine of stainless steel and cojones of iridium, not many candidates have the gall to tell the special-country-that-shall-not-be-named to piss up a rope when they come begging even more money.
And he has the ability to generate massive popular support very rapidly, one reason the mainstream media has practically blacklisted him.
Ron WOULD start pitchin people off the boat for poking holes in it, anyone sandbagging or sabotaging would find that when it comes to UnConstitutional behavior, the man has no more mercy than a freshly chummed shark.
And that is why he scares the crap out of them, cause like River... he's not safe... for THEM.
