I’m not missing anything.
Your boy got played. How is he going to face down the Chinese or the Mullahs if he gets outmaneuvered by Gomer Pyle?
i hate to say it, but your crowing about it is kind of turning my stomach, my friend.
HEY KNOW nothing my guy withdrew, none of these players are of my choosing.
Romney is clearly being tag teamed...and that's pure politics and part of the game. Romney will have to deal with it because it is the reality.

He got played?
Two against one? McCain and Huck combining their votes to defeat Romney. That’s fair play to you?
Hey, I know life isn’t fair.
But I don’t root for cheaters and hucksters.
Laugh now.
You won’t be laughing in November, or for the four years afterwards.
In fact, if by some quirk the geriatric lunatic McCain actually wins in November, you, and all of us, are likely to be sadder than if the Democrat won.
Because McCain will seek with a vengeance to marginalize the conservatives in the Republican party, and he will have no meaninful opposition to seeking that end. He will have the vigorous support of the Democrats, and the Republicans will have to go along with him or risk going against the leadership in their party.
If McCain wins the election, the best outcome for conservatives will be a Democrat president.
How is that so?
Strategery.
With a Democrat president,
1. The Republicans in Congress can oppose a Democrat president without opposing their party leadership.
2. The existing RINO Republican Establishment will be defeated and discredited, giving new momentum to the conservative base.
3. The elections in 2010 will likely see a conservative Republican revival take hold of the Congress.
Those three things WON’T happen under a McCain presidency.
While I don’t see the commection, the counter argument might be that, in the big picture, Romney realizes he can use this as evidence that Huckabee is in the tank for McCain from now on and really undermine Huck’s support.
How many people will continue to vote for Huck if they think it’s a proxy vote for McCain?

Alright. You claim you’re not missing something. Then tell us how you would have maneuvered if you were Romney.
And if you can’t come up with an answer, yes, you’re clearly missing something. And I’d start with reason.
You won’t believe it, but there are moral people who don’t care to soil themselves in corruption to be considered “smart and clever.” If anything, people who consider filthy brokering to be acceptable and even admired are just indicators of the moral degeneration of our society. For those now applauding unethical behavior, beware, for it will come to no good.
