LOL.  Probably the plan.  Mitt has a direct line to God after all.

If McCain were to win, he will have set the record for old US President-elect in history.

We'll be having the oldest, blackest or chickiest.  A middle-aged white man just can't get ahead in this country any more.

So how long before Huckabee drops out?


Conspiracy Theory Alert!  Huckabee never seemed the slightest bit electable.  One wonders if the RNC promoted his campaign to damage Romney's ... ?  McCain is already seen as such a liberal Republican that Romney couldn't run with him or to the left of him, and there was Huckabee taking the far-right votes.

LMAO. 

I wonder if they'll figure out a way to blame Katherine Harris.

Deja vu.  Did you just post 47 times on the S.L. Trib story?

The forecast doesn't include Florida and Michigan, which were stripped of delegates by the Democratic National Committee for holding primaries ahead of the schedule set out by the party. Clinton, who won uncontested primaries in both states, is vowing a fight to have those delegates -- slated to be 366 in total -- seated at the nominating convention.
To my way of thinking, she either complains NOW about FL and MI or shuts the hell up.  (Same for Obama, not that he's going to complain.)

Nah, I don't follow that political *feces*.  Don't even open most of the P&R threads here, for that matter.  I just happened to catch the Washington Post headline on my wife's laptop when I went home for lunch today.

Given the apparent hatred for McCain I simply do not see damaging Romney as their strategy.  Given the amount of money he raised and invested into the campaign, its surprising that he'd drop out so quickly though.

I think Huckabee is in it for the veep selection, and may well get it.

Wow!! this is a shocking development!!  I can't wait watch them thowing up all over themselves on Faux news tonight!!

As to the veep talk....it will be all about what a veep can bring to the ticket

I don't see what the Mitt's can deliver for McCain that McCain can win without him.

The bible belt will go red no matter what.  They'll hem and haw, but they'll pull the lever.  Outside of the bible belt, Huck is an (extreme) liability.  Huck is also on record as really loving torture.  I'd bet that single issue alone is a non-starter for McJowels.  Seriously.

McCain mostly will need someone who can promise a big electoral state..

You can do the math, but it has to be someone from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida or Texas.  Most southerners are too stupid to figure out that texans aren't a bit like us at all.  The right texan can deliver florida.  The right floridian can deliver texas and the rest of the south, even into Virginia

And only now does it register that "SL" is Salt Lake, not St. Louis.
