another one bites the dust

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.

-- ex-presidential candidate, Mitt Romney

Smoke and mirrors, my friends. Smoke and mirrors....
