Just lost my shirt on Intrade

Romney's out.

And what a ridiculous statement:

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.

It's no secret that Republicans believe electing a Democrat is the equivalent to surrendering to Al Qaeda, but it's rare that it's stated so brazenly.
