The Romney ride is over. Time for all true conservatives to unite behind Fred Thompson and stop the Pat Buchanan/Pat Robertson coalition from nominating Mike Huckabee!
And speaking of Huckabee, I just listened to Hannity interview him and was pretty much OK with what Huckabee said until he got to the immigration questions, when he turned into a raving weasel. Twice Hannity asked him about giving college tuition breaks and scholarships to the children of illegal aliens, and twice he twisted the question and answered something like, “The federal government requires the states to educate these children.” Not an answer. The federal government does require K-12 education for all children, but it DOES NOT require tuition breaks and scholarships for them, which was what he was asked to explain. Creepy, very deceptive and dishonest, in my opinion. Nixonesque, even. So now I really have my doubts about the other stuff he said. Also, why didn’t Hannity ask him if he would support the next amnesty bill that Congress will inevitably send to the White House, or if he would veto such legislation. Another duplicitous, slick, lying bastard, if you ask me.
Fantasyland. Mitt has 18 delegates and Huck has 20. Mitt is far from doomed. After Wyoming and NH (1st or 2nd place finishes), Mitt will have more delegates than anyone else. He’s the only guy who can stop Rudy, who is set to win most of the delegate rich states. Someone who is in 3rd, 4th or 5th place will not be able to stop him.
“...stop the Pat Buchanan/Pat Robertson coalition.”
FRiend, we’re on the same side, I cannot stand the sanctimonious and liberal Hu-hu-hu-huck-a-bee, but in my mind, he has a whole different set of flaws than the two that you site. I’d liken it more to a Jimmy Carter/Rick Warren coalition.
Since when was Pat Buchanan for Huckabee?

Well, since the next primary is New Hampshire in a couple of days, we have to see what Romney’s strongly held and principled positions are.
Last week’s principals and positions are no guide to the future in cases like this.
I don’t think it is over for Romney, any more then it is over for anybody. Like it or not, Romney has a lot of money, and I don’t have any problem with him chosing to spend his money. Evangalicals have a tendency to follow directions from their preachers almost lock-step. I think it was an organized protest over Romney being a Mormon. There is nothing wrong with that if that is what they choose to do, but I don’t think that Huckabee has the organization to continue to do that. Plus, Huckabee comes across as a complete popluist. I agree with Rush Limbaugh. Huckabee might be entertaining, but he is not Presidential.
