Do we have the votes though? If Thompson paired up with him as VP, I’d be hopeful for an independent ticket.
This just stinks. Screw McShamnesty/Huckahillbilly.
Still going to my caucus tonight and I’m hopping mad by the collusion between these two snakeoil salesmen.
If Romney got in as an Independent, McCain would completely forsake the conservative vote and run further to the left and encroach on Hillary/Obama territory. The hard left would go to Hill O’ Bama, the mushy middle would go to Queeg, the hard right to Romney (with Thompson or another strong conservative on the ticket).
You’re looking at a 30/30/30 election. Romney would have as good a shot as anyone.
People are taking too short term outlook on this situation. Huckster and McCain may have outsmarted themselves and here is how..........If Huck can pull a few upsets in the south, win Ga, Ala, Ark, and maybe another ofdd state of two, and Romney can pull off Ca and Mass, along with Mont and another state of two, McCain’s coronation tonight will not happen. If he continues to get only 35-40 % of delegates, the goofy Huckster will not quit, not should Romney. Take it to the convention and see how McAmnesty and the HUckster fare amongst the party ‘establishment’. The MSM is in the tank for McAmnesty and will try to pressure Romney to quit, but a win in Ca makes him viable and this sham in WV will only serve to further enrage the base.
I actually hope that the outcome in WV makes a lot of people mad. We don’t take kindly to anybody pulling a fast one and that’s what just happened; McCain pulled a fast one.
I hope this makes people in other states vote for Romney just to show we don’t appreciate being manipulated.
