Unable to please the base, John McCain could very well be the Republican nominee.

Mitt Romney bowed out of the race. He told party activists at an annual conservative conference in DC. He didn't mention his distant second as his reason.

"Now if I fight on ... all the way to the convention, ... I would forestall the launch of a national campaign. And frankly I would be making it easier for Senator Clinton or Obama to win. Frankly in this time of war, I simply can't let my campaign be aiding the war on terror."

Mitt Romney Drops OutAt that same conference, McCain struggled to please. He was booed when he mentioned immigration, conservatives have been critical of his previous stance for comprehensive immigration reform.

One state that still tallying super Tuesday votes is New Mexico. Officials say misplaced ballots are holding the count up.

Greens in Massachusetts are still waiting. The state is still counting absentee ballots, an official count won't be known for a week. In the unofficial count non-committed Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney are tied.

RP has not quit he's staying in according to him. We all know these elections are rigged! New Hampshire was confirmed ballot tampering as uncounted ballots for a whole family that voted for RP but was told in the local news there were no votes for RP in their district. In Iowa they had slices in the sides of their ballot boxesleft unsecured overnight,besides,no one in their right mind would vote for McCain. He's there to fall on his sword to open the door for the Bilderberger Hitlery.
Unspun?

Ron Paul did not drop out of the race, as your front page indicated. The article itself contains no mention of him.

This is unspun news? This is the first time I've ever seen this site, I'm already getting dizzy.
Lies!
