Ann Arbor - Conjecture swirled around the Romney camp throughout the week that the Massachusetts Governor's future in the RtWH2008 hinged on a strong showing in Michigan. After lackluster results in Iowa, Wyoming and New Hampshire, Michigan's disappointing 4th place finish, while representing the high water mark of the Romney campaign, was simply not enough to keep the Governor in the race. Today, Governor Romney made it official, ending his 2008 run for the White House, and becoming the first casualty of the 2008 campaign season.
In a brief statement, Romney spoke of no regrets, and thanked his staff and supporters for their commitment. When asked, the Governor did not make an endorsement, but left the door open that he might do so at a later date.
