Um...

Ok...

Don't get out around here much do ya?

[Retired COB]

McCain is TAINTED meat. Any Republican should distance themselves from him and any Bushes out there.

Ding Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner!

[calcowgirl]

"... our Republican Party ... " said McCain, R-Arizona.

Aren't CEOs ousted when they fail? Why is it in the GOP they think it gives them title?

[ejonesie22]

The implication is that you have no real idea what Conservatives stand for.

But you are one helluva Republican...

[SwankyC]

Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and a likely frontrunner for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination

*sigh* Another progressive I wont vote for.

[Leisler]

Mitt was for taxing truck drivers, waitress, small business for the gussied up kids game know as the Utah Olympics which he saved by a 1/2 billion dollar bailout.

Did I say bailout? Mitt was for a 20 billion dollar federal bailout of Detroit in the Michigan primaries.( McCain wasn’t)

Mitt is for Romneycare and Obamacare nationally. Unless he’s against it now. Who knows?

Mitt’s not a leader, or change agent. He is totally an institutional man. He was totally outfought by the mostly high school educated Mass legislature and was always more interested in winning press release than any bare knuckles, drag down political fight.

[ejonesie22]

Nanny state proclivities and some immigration whishy washiyness...

[calcowgirl]

OK! I'm getting a little senile in my old age. Someone remind me why I didn't like Mike Huckabee in the primaries.

Global warming zealot, amnesty supporter, nanny-state promoter, big-government solutions ...

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

[ontap]

Has he learned from his mistakes?

[ejonesie22]

Hard call since he is not really governing anything right now, but my money would bet against it.

Like the issues with Mitt, words mean little in the face of historic actions...

[Domandred]

Someone remind me why I didn't like Mike Huckabee in the primaries.

Nanny stater. That's what did it for most people so it was probably that. Either that or you have an aversion to jiffy popped squirrel...

[maggief]

Mitt hasn’t got a prayer in winning.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Do you mean Mike “Elmer Gantry” Huckabee?

[Zhang Fei]

The headline is wrong. It seems to me that McCain defended the GOP - from the charge that it is prejudiced against Mormons - by pointing to Romney almost getting the GOP nomination.

[SkyDancer]

And in other news: John Kerry and John McCain go together to start new business, “Two-Johns Bi-Partisan Waffle House” ...

[Arizona Carolyn]

Well, I don’t quite agree with you 100%. Jeb is supporting Rubio and McCain is supporting Crist... I am rooting for Rubio against Crist in Florida. I just wish we had such a clear choice here in Arizona next year.

[mick]

"I think the fact that Mitt Romney succeeded as much as he did................is a testimony, I think, to the inclusiveness of the Republican Party," said McCain, R-Arizona.

Ooch ! In other words , "as bad as this flip flooper was, he didn't do so bad"!! LMAO.

I'll start to worry when crazy mccain begins to support SP!

[Will88]

I just wish we had such a clear choice here in Arizona next year.

I listen to J. D. Hayworth's radio show now and then, and just last week he talked about the 2010 senate race in Arizona, saying that any decision he made had to involve every member of his family because it would affect each one. He also said those conversations were taking place in the Hayworth household, and that he is receiving many emails encouraging him to get in the race.
