I am curious as to whether the virulent Romney haters, now that Mitt doesn't appear to be a 'threat" to their views, will switch their vicious and destructive attacks toward McCain... who by all measures has been far far worst for the conservative cause these past eight years.
Somehow I doubt it.
Somehow I doubt it.
As do I. If Huckabee was truly a viable, independent candidate, he'd excoriate McCain's endorsement by the "Republicans for Choice."
He hasn't, he won't, and P.T. Barnum was an optimist.

I support Romney now. But face it, all three are seriously flawed candidates. Romney has noone but himself to blame for the attacks, which correctly point out that his positions are inconsistent over time.
The difference is, we know McCain hates conservatives. And we know with virtual certainty that any change of position that takes place to mollify conservatives now is probably a sham. OTOH, We know that Romney is apparently a recent convert. But his conversion might be genuine. And, he does not apparently share McCain's distaste for conservatives.
Even more important, the party base will probably work for Romney and not stay home. So even if Romney loses, we will have a stronger senate and house than if McCain wins. McCain will have negative coattails, even if he wins--perhaps especially if he wins.
