In two weeks, depending on the results of the primaries and caucuses, we may be down to three candidates: McCain, Huckabee, and Romney.

That’s scary.....Heard today that McCain has been talking to Lieberman...Bet is he wins the Rep nomination he picks Lieberman as his VP choice....

UGH Go Mitt !

I must wonder if Michael Blooomberg may entice McCain to be his running mate, even letting him run as President, should the Arizona senator fail to obtain the nomination. If Romney or Huckabee look like clear winners after Super Tuesday, Bloomberg may look to spend megabucks. With McCain fronting for the billionaire, it is not inconceivable that such a ticket could do as well as Perot in 1992.

I also wonder if Ron Paul may decide to go the third party route, as he does not seem to be spending much of the $25 million he has accumulated. He could probably get the nomination of both the Libertarian and Constitution Parties. Not that Paul will get more than 2-3%, but that can be crucial. If Nader had not run on the Green Party ticket in 2000 and received such a level of support, Gore would almost certainly have carried Florida without a contest.
