A Statement From Norm Coleman on Gov. Mitt Romney

SAINT PAUL – The following is a statement from Senator Norm Coleman regarding Gov. Mitt Romney’s decision to suspend his presidential campaign:
 
“I want to thank Governor Romney for his commitment to his nation and his party.  His participation in this historic election gave a strong voice to conservative ideals that I believe will be carried forward by John McCain.  Americans recognize that our future economic security rests with national security, and John McCain, better than anyone else in this campaign, recognizes this reality.  Mitt Romney deserves the thanks of Republicans and Americans for his steadfast belief in the future of our nation.  It is clear that Republicans will be able to, very soon, rally around the candidacy of John McCain and begin presenting his positive vision for a country in which people can work together to move our nation forward."
