Romney drops out, Ehrlich to endorse McCain in Baltimore tonight?

Amid reports that Mitt Romney is dropping out of the Presidential race, The Sun reports that Sen. John McCain has been added to tonight’s Baltimore County Lincoln Day Dinner. The event previously featured Romney, who is apparently still going to be there. Does this mean Romney is going to endorse McCain tonight in Baltimore?

UPDATE: Rumor is the actual endorsement will be at CPAC (if it happens at all), but tonight could still be a joint campaign appearance for McCain and Romney.

From The Sun:
It was not immediately [sic] if Romney still planned to attend after suspending his presidential campaign this afternoon.

One positive thing is now McCain isn’t forced to take Huckabee as a VP.

Mitt Romney Quits Race at CPAC

Just got signed in at CPAC and the big news is that Mitt Romney is dropping out of the race. He’s using his speech here to announce his withdrawal. His spokesman, Kevin Madden, has confirmed the rumor.
Laura Ingraham is introducing him now, us…

I’m sorry for those that supported Romney. I know you looked to him as a solution, but I think he made a mistake when he stepped away from his strengths.

Now we need to focus on the remaining options. We do not need a President who is content with being at war for the next 100 years.

Huckabee is the only reasonable solution to both our domestic and international issues. He’s proven that he’s able to unite people. Look at how well he’s doing with the least funding of all the candidates.

We need a change from the status-quo politics and someone who will unit the NATION not just their party. Huckabee has done that and can do that for the Nation.

Mitt Romney. Presidential candidate, or time-traveling android?

The Romneybot looks like what our future robot overlords imagine we humans want in a president after researching hours of “The West Wing.”

After all that has happened today I am concerned about Geo Allen standing behind McCain. As much as I love Geo (I wish it had been a Thompson/Allen ticket) I am baffled why Romney would bow out (a classy guy that the media and Washington didn’t like)but the Huckabomb is staying in. He can’t win and McCain doesn’t need him now it just makes me wonder. If he picks the Hucker as a Veep I will change parties. Two liberal views would be too much.
Any thoughts?
This whole election time has been suspicious to me. Right from the start the media were against Fred, Romney and seem to love McCain. They will turn on him as election time closes in. They have picked our nominee just to beat Hillary? However Hillary might not win her nomination. Or maybe our House of Congress and Senate members want to have only Washington insiders. It appears that might be my answer too. McCain’s speech today did not seal it for me. One speech saying all the right things won’t make him electable yet. He better layout how he plans to execute all these conservative things he says he really stands for. Namely amnesty should not ever be on the table after he closes the borders. If he does close the borders! They are wrong not to think of the possibility some of us still might sit it out. I guess it will be how much proof McCain can produce being a conservative. Then there is McCain’s attitude(we know he has a my way attitude)until the election prevails. Today he seemed sincere only time will prove if he is. After all he is asking me to believe in everything he has fought against in the party. With the exception of abortion. The question still remains will he stay on the right side? Time will tell all.
