...and then Hillary becomes president. Bank it. That is what is going to happen. It has been planned all along, and the country has been played for fools.
In fact, we ARE fools.
Ain't gonna happen,and if it did, McCain would emerge victorious because the GOP big shots that manage and pick the delegates are all for the ost part, supporting McCain.
Hoping that a brokered convention will change this outcome is like hoping for Ronald Reagan to get into the race.
Romney won 99% of the vote in Utah.
Worked for Romney
Worked for Huckabee
People vote with their religious beliefs
And their gender
And their race
And their lust
Countryclubbers can belong to any church, but they focus on party mechanics, not policy development. Some folks misperceive the countryclubber as a large faction within the Republican party, but they're not ~ they just have a singular interest and that serves to boost the chances they'll be tapped to run for office.
This is how the Republican Party got to be called "The Stupid Party" ~ the countryclubbers have no interest in policy ~ John McCain is a good example of this attitude.
The variation in the Democrat party is that there are clusters of special interests that constitute affinity pressure groups. They provide an inordinate amount of the party infrastructure but few candidates.
Democrats are typified most by existing office holders moving up the chairs to run for higher office. The Republicans actually have non-politicians moving in and out of elective office, and that's something you never see with Democrats.
Huck then becomes VP nominee thus giving the McCain ticket an inroad to pro life people and evangelicals.
I think Huck will drop out and "award" his delegates to McCain but he will NOT be the VP choice. He'll be a cabinet post but he won't be the VP. WV assured that.
Old and older.
They are both dishonest. And they think it doesn't show through. They have stabbed others in the back, so why not do what they already know?
I think that’s what Huck was promised.
I also don’t think he’ll get the VP nod. Strategically he won’t be the best choice and what’s he going to do once he cedes his delegates to McCain?
You’re right. Wanna bet if it’s either McCain or Huckabee I vote for Obama?
It’s only a good bet if McCain doesn’t have a majority without Huckabee. If he needs Huckabee’s delegates, a McCain/Huckabee ticket looks automatic.
Ummmmmmmmmm.......Yeah....pretty much.
B.S. Huckabee no liberal. He’s the most conservative of the three still in the race.
experience matters! and Fred will unite the conservative base that neither Romney nor huckabee can do on their own
B.S. Huckabee is no liberal. He’s the most conservative of the three still in the race.
We’re not fools. Well, at least the vast majority of us here are not fools. We mostly play the role of Cassandra - we see what’s happening, but nobody believes us.
McCain with Colin Powell as VP is a better idea.
Don’t count Fred out. They were very close friends.
Funny to read that.
Huckabee a few minutes ago said it is a two man race. And that he is one of them.
I didn't know who he meant, but a TV guy on Fox just said he meant him and McCain.
I hadn’t clicked what was happening earlier, but I suspect that McCain and Huckster will split any of the states where Mitt has less than an absolute majority. I haven’t seen the details, but it looks like that’s happening from what Drudge has posted so far.
I didn’t see why McCain would make Huck his VP, when he has several other much better known governors who have endorsed him, from bigger states: Florida, Texas, and California in particular.
But if Huckster can give him the delegates to put him over the top, that’s another matter entirely.
Ugh. This is moving rapidly toward Hillary and Obama in the White House.
