Mittless in Maryland?

Hair Boy:

We are beginning to see signs that Mitt Romney might be preparing to pull out of the Republican race.

Everyone is looking for tea leaves from the campaign, and we’ll know more about the governor’s state of mind when we hear from him at CPAC today. But in the last 24 hours, I have noticed a dramatic drop-off in the number of emails I have received from Team Romney. This is no small thing. Every reporter will tell you they receive reams of emails from the Romney campaign. But the last one I got was at 1:47 p.m. yesterday, advising me of Romney’s campaign schedule in Maryland. Before that, I last received on at 8:37 a.m., advising me of Romney’s CPAC speech.

As I often tell people, the reason it’s important to read NRO, aka the Village of the Damned, aka Monkeys Flinging Poo, is not because they’re superb conservative writers. It’s because they’re a direct line to the Bushies. And, to the next generation of Republicans in power.

Update: Mitt quits. Josh Nelson has the best line thus far:

“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,” Romney told the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington.

Funny, I thought he dropped out because he wasn’t gaining any traction and was squandering his bank account.
