Adieu, Romney

Wave goodbye to Gov. Mitt Romney, the Republican governor of Massachusetts, who has been behind Sen. John McCain in the presidential race. He dropped out today, Feb. 7, after he won three primaries and eight caucuses on Super Tuesday. He was currently in second place in total delegates for his party, with 286 delegates. McCain has 714 delegates and former Gov. Mike Huckabee has 181 delegates. Huckabee said today that he'll continue his run for the Republican nomination.

I wonder:

Will Romney's drop help unite the Republican party and result in a McCain-winning blowout?
Or will this create a split among the Republican voters- the more moderate voters to McCain and the more conservative voters to Huckabee?
