Tossing in the Mitt

By Edward Copeland

The Fix at The Washington Post is reporting that Mitt Romney is either suspending or completely withdrawing his quest for the GOP presidential nomination:

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney will suspend his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, according to sources within his inner circle.

A number of those sources said a decision could come as soon as his speech at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference this afternoon in Washington, D.C.

Romney was set to do a call with his finance committee just before addressing the conservative gathering. His decision follows Romney's disappointing showing on Tuesday, when he picked up a number of states in the West but fell short in critical battlegrounds that would have established him as the primary challenger to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
