If MR leaves the race, MH will follow because MH is counting on the VP spot and he thinks that will get it for him from JM.
McCain won’t come back to the base for the Veep ~ he’ll continue to “reach out”. He has nothing but contempt for conservatism.
There is no way in hell that we’d vote for either McCain or the Huckster.
If McCain gets it, it would be a HUGE mistake for McCain to have the Huckster as the VP. The Huckster only scored points with the bigited “Christians” because Mitt is a Mormon. Beyond that the Huckster will sink like a rock. He has NO national appeal. Even less than McCain.
