"Now is the time for Republicans to rally behind their nominee, Christine O'Donnell. She ran an impressive campaign. I believe it is important we support her so we can win back the U.S. Senate this fall."

Rumble is President Bush’s big bucks donors have been holding back the cash from GOP presidential contender John McCain because they want him to pick conservative Mitt Romney as his veepmate.

- Rove ‘em: Former Bush strategist Karl Rove is behind the pressure and was the biggest Romney presidential backer.

- Race ‘em “Even if McCain loses with Romney as his vice president, the race sets up Romney to run as president again — and if he wins, then Rove ‘s got himself another president,” according to a McCain source.

[curth]

As predicted .

[GoCards]

lol. definetly brave and courageous!! Anyone hear from Huckabee?

[Dem Guard]

He really is sticking his head out now isn’t he? ;-)

[samtheman]

I’m curious. What did he say about this race prior to the election? Anything?

[Scythian]

I’m glad he is but is it really brave to back the winner of your primary? Good grief what has America come to?

[maggief]

The elitist establishment jumps on the bandwagon.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

What a phony, gutless, turd.

As Pat Buchanan asked on "Morning Joe," if they want to lead this party in 2012, don't the Romneys and Pawlentys and Barbours need to embrace O'Donnell and campaign for her this fall? Buchanan made this point: In '64, Nelson Rockefeller refused to wear a Goldwater button, while Richard Nixon campaigned for him in 40 states. One became president, the other got kicked off the GOP national ticket. Bottom line: Does the Tea Party/DeMint crowd punish any presidential wannabe in '12 who doesn't help O'Donnell meaningfully? Does this become like the '06 Lamont-Lieberman litmus test.

[personalaccts]

Where did he stand last weak?

[allmendream]

Mr. Daylate, please be advised that you are also a dollar short.

[Huskrrrr]

We're hunting RINOs. Remember that Romney!

[AFreeBird]

Think maybe Mittens has seen the RINO writing on the wall?

Too little - too late

[Sarah Barracuda]

Gotta hand it to Mittens for making the sacrifice LOL

[albie]

Yaaaay! Romney for...nothing.

[Genoa]

Not a ringing endorsement. All about the horse race, still won’t praise the candidate or her policies.

[Ol' Sparky]

I’ll be impressed, Willard, when you donate several million dollars to help her win.
