Excellent post, jdm!

This kind of thing is typical of the left, of Dems, which clearly Suckabee and McNasty are, not Republicans.

But now what? I don’t think it hurts Romney as much as we may think. Better things are coming...out of CA!! Californians don’t like backroom deals, if we know about them as this one, so anything can happen tonight. Suckabee was polling in single digits in CA yesterday. We’ll see how he does in CA. He’s never won a Northern state. He’s keeping Romney from winning in the South. We’ll see who comes out on top. 10 to 1 it’s a brokered convention now, as LEGALLY, Suckabee cannot bow out and “give” his delegates to McNasty...right? That’s ONE backroom deal that will never happen. Too bad Romney and Paul’s folks can’t get together and form a bond of mutual protection...

I don’t think the media are about to tell anyone about this, certainly not before voting closes for the day, and probably not at all.

I agree with most of your post but I disagree with the idea that Huckabee will not hand over his delegates. The only catch is that Huckabee would not be a VP possibility but would get a cushy cabinet or Ambassador slot if McCain won. Of course McCain wouldn't and Huckabee will have sold his soul for nothing.

And while I agree that this is, in the end, hardball politics the fact remains that Huckabee and McCain cannot honestly state that their campaigns are truly in competition with each other. That is now crystal clear.
