McCain and Romney: Republicans unite to beat Obama and Clinton

"Cheers, boos for McCain at Conservative gathering"--CNN

"McCain Seeks to Lock Down Conservative Support After Romney Exits"--FOX News online

"McCain all but Clinches; Romney Departs"--The Times Tribune

"Romney is Out; McCain Emerges as G.O.P. Choice"--NY Times

"McCain Pleas as Romney Withrdraws"--BBC News/Americas

Essentially, Romney announced his withdraw from the campaign b/c he didn't want him being in the election lower the Republicans chances against Clinton and Obama. So McCain stepped up and spoke to the same conservative group that Romney just spoke with and was "booed" and "jeered" at when he announced his plan with illegal immigration. Huckabee and Paul are still running though they're lagging behind--they're still in sight for the public eye. It is said that McCain had spoken to Romney on the phone planning to unite their groups to be one so they can fight against Obama and Clinton. What a battle!
