Like a glove

Hair Gel is peacing out. I'm really going to miss him.

Update: CNN had a good explainer of the meaning of "suspend the campaign." You may recall that Edwards didn't "drop out," he "suspended his campaign." This doesn't mean that Romney or Edwards will get back into the race.

The rules for each party differ. For Edwards, it meant that he can hold onto his delegates. (He's the only Democrat, other then Clinton and Obama, who have delegates to hold on to.)

That is not the case, however, for Romney. The rules for Republicans is that the delegates are allocated based on state party rules.

Marc Ambinder pointed out that Romney's big delegate take from Michigan goes from pledged to unpledged, and Huckabee's all over it.

Simple question:

Why is it that everytime a candidate makes a public declaration that a campaign is "going on" or "moving forward" they inevitably call it quits soon after? I mean, don't say it. Mitt should have just hung it up that night and headed back to Bain Capital to rake in the loot and grease up his coif.
