Officials with the campaign have said that former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney will suspend his run for the Republican primary nomination, following a disappointing series of state and district-wide losses on February 5. He currently controls only 270 delegates, approximately one-third the number held by Arizona Senator John McCain.
The original story has been released by CNN and is still developing. This would put McCain as the definite frontrunner, and likely nominee, in this contest. Romney’s departure from the race might also increase Huckabee’s prospects for winning additional delegates.
