Byron York wonders whether Mitt Romney is about to terminate his campaign. Byron asked the Romney campaign whether he would be crazy to infer from the recent absence of emails, including those that criticize John McCain, that “the campaign is dialing back its aggressiveness in preparation for a Romney withdrawal.” He was told:

UPDATE: Multiple sources confirm that Romney will announce his withdrawal from the race this afternoon in his speech to CPAC.
