WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney was suspending his year-old quest for Republicans' presidential nomination, after a poor showing in "Super Tuesday's" state contests that captured his failure to win over the social conservatives so influential in his party.
The former Massachusetts governor decided Wednesday to announce his plans at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, a gathering of the Right's top activists and politicians. "I must now stand aside, for our party and our country,'' he planned to say, according to excerpts of his speech.

It's a sad day, but a smart move for the GOP and something to look forward to in 2012 now.
