Mitt Romney has suspended his campaign...
He ran a good and honorable race, made some mistakes, and no doubt learned alot. I don't think it is entirely coincidental that on the Republican side, it seems to often happen that a candidate has to go through the process of losing before they can win (Nixon, Reagan, Bush I, now McCain).
Here is the text of the speech.
A snippet:
NW Republican has a poll up asking who to vote for in the upcoming WA caucus. My feeling is...you should still vote for who you want...if you still like Romney, vote Romney. That's what I am doing in Oregon in May. What do y'all think?
What we do from here:
We go to work. We work for Senator McCain, but just as important, we work for conservative candidates for the legislature, for Congress, for the Senate. We continue to build conservatism one small donation, one voter registration, one vote at a time. And we'll win.

A snippet:
If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would
forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator
Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my
campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror.
This is not an easy decision for me. I hate to lose. My family, my friends
and our supporters... many of you right here in this room... have given a
great deal to get me where I have a shot at becoming President. If this were
only about me, I would go on. But I entered this race because I love
America, and because I love America, I feel I must now stand aside, for our
party and for our country.
