His advisers were obliged to present his withdrawal as a grown-up decision not
to obstruct Mr Romney’s path to the nomination. Given that he was polling at
five per cent in South Carolina it is conceivable that he could have
prevented a Romney victory there.
In Florida, the next stop, he was polling at one or two per cent, and simply
did not have the campaign infrastructure in place to continue beyond that
into Super-Tuesday on March 6 when ten states vote.
Romney will be boosted by his departure from the race, but he would have been
fine without it.
