Romney Drops Out

Mitt Romney dropped out of the Republican race on Thursday.

He had advantages such as being a governor, having business experience, a solid family, good speaking ability, and stated conservative positions.

However, he had disadvantages as well. Voters don't like rich people very much. Being Mormon helped him win their votes, but turned off others. His 'flip-flops' raised questions about the sincerity of his positions. Ironically, this provided cover to several othre candidates who had conveniently changed positions. He also seemed "too perfect".

It took $40 million for Romney to get as far as he got.

Despite claims to the following, the data shows that Romney was helped by his position on immigration.
