But isn't the "why now" part all any of them really have to address when they get out at this point? We all know one of them will emerge as the delegate winner, and we also know how he did on Super Tuesday.
And Romney is the one candidate who could probably financially afford to stay in the race if he really wanted too. With Fred and Rudy, part of the problem beyond the early primaries was running out of cash.
I guess his speech didn't strike me as dweebish. I think from a GOP perspective it's a good answer. He doesn't think he's going to win it this time, and he wants the GOP to win the general. Getting out now does help McCain.
