What happened to "Mittmentum?"

It's a good day for America, Romney has suspended his campaign. His reason? Well to continue his campaign would " ... be part of aiding a surrender to terror." And it's hard to argue with that. But for Mitt we might end up with a president whose middle name is Hussein or even worse, an unstable woman who I'm pretty sure has a bomb strapped on under her stylish pant suit. Thank you, patriot Mitt, if only you had bought houses in more than 3 states your delegate count might have been higher.

Romney suspends campaign

Perhaps it's because he's just not getting the R.O.I....

From the Huffington Post:

Republican campaign operatives call it the Gramm-o-meter, the money a candidate spends per delegate won, in honor of Phil Gramm, the former Texas senator who spent $25 million and won just 10 delegates, or $2.5 million per, in 1996.

By Republican strategist Alex Vogel's calculation, Mitt Romney is giving Gramm a run for his money. The former Massachusetts governor has spent $1.16 million per delegate, a rate that would cost him $1.33 billion to win the nomination.
Or perhaps, as MrMoss quoted, it really is all about not aiding surrender to terror, and the bomb-strapped lady in the stylish pantsuit.
