Just reported on tv. Also said Romney to meet at campaign headquarters tomorrow to have "frank discussion" about future of campaign.
The story continues. The story is that Romney beat Romney, no one else. He wasn’t a good enough candidate. He couldn’t beat the liberal McCain,”
Let me fix your comments ...
Romney won more votes and more states than Huckabee tonight.
HUCKABEE IS THE LOSER HERE, HE JUST DOESNT KNOW IT/CARE.
The story is that Huckabee beat Huckabee no one else. He wasn’t a good enough candidate.
He couldn’t beat the liberal McCain, and he couldn’t beat the conservative Romney where Romney was able to make his presence known. Watch for Huckabee to continue to roll up losses in non-southern states around the country.
As for Louisiana ... Huckabee was not even in the running there.
Huck lost 16 states, doing miserably in most of them, his lack of success this evening outside a few southern states will propel his candidacy to irrelevency.
Huck will lose TX. The Huckster-fraud will get single digits.
too late to stop McCain now.
“romney was never viable. Now we just need to stop Hillary and Obama. I give John McCain a lot of credit. I vote for him.”
It’s too late to stop Hillary and Obama. McCain won’t be able to do it. Romney, while far from perfect, was our last hope to save our country from a liberal presidency. I cannot bring myself to vote for McCain. Now that Romney’s out, I’m done.
I don't give a flyin' rip about it. The Pubbies sullied themselves and deserve what they get. I will be HAPPY to watch the Pubbies crater in November, and will cheer it on. Mess with the bull, get the horns, simple as that.
True. But so are McCain and Huckabee. Yet when only flawed candidates are running, one of them has to win.
It seems, you and McPain have something in common. You think very highly of yourselves. And that, is putting it kindly. ;)
BTW, considering Flipper’s business successes, I’d put my money on his understanding of China ahead of yours. But then again, may be you are Warren
Buffet....nah, I doubt that!
Thing is, as a small-”l” libertarian, I think conservatives have more in common with the LP, than with a GOP which leaves those two Border Agents rotting in jail, and calls Americans “vigilantes”. But I’m biased, perhaps. :)
Count me in.

First time we have agreed in a week or so.
I have re-registered with the American Independent party.
So why in the world are you blaming Romney's failures on us???
As far as "we told you so," I've seen months of FReepers telling Romney supporters that he can't win, especially in the South. You backed him anyway, which is your prerogative. But by your own reasoning, you bear the blame for McCain and/or Hillary, by not backing a candidate who could win (especially in the South). By your reasoning you should be on the receiving end of the "we told you sos" if/when Hillary/Obama win.
Personally I think that veryone who supported the candidate of our conscience, without regard for faulty crystal ball assessments of electability, did the right thing.
“That is the main base of Romney support - CONSERVATIVES.”
Let me spell it out for the people who are slow on the uptake.
Mitt Romney is in fact the most conservative candidate, with the most conservative agenda, of the major candidates.
More conservative than McCain.
More conservative than Huckabee.
Thats why conservatives have endorsed him and conservatives vote for him.
“I think that if you can admit that the main base of Huckabee supporters are also CONSERVATIVES”
They are idiot conservatives. They had a chance for a viable conservative alternative and took a non-conservative who talks God-talk to them in between non-conservative populist nanny-state soundbites.
No we are going to laugh our butts off watching you screaming manic Bush haters try to elect a guy who spent the last 8 years agreeing more with Ted Kennedy then with G Bush.
You haven't just cut off your nose, you ripped out your tongue out by the root to spite your face.
McCain looks assisted living bound, not white house ready. Besides, I don’t trust him so if he was sick, we’d never know. He wants this so bad but he’d lose to the guy from Indonesia or to Hitlery imo. If Obama was born in Indonesia, how can he run for President? Anybody know? Was Obama born in Indonesia?
Huckabee as VP? You gotta be kidding me. McCain’s VP slot is reserved for his pal Joe Lieberman.
Yeah, whatever. The vote in November tells the tale. Less than a third of the voters participate in the primary. Romney, like every other Yankee, doesn't stand a chance. Folks been saying so for a long time here...
We have reaped the whirlwind, and there is going to be much suffering, horror and anguish. Do not belittle the lives and livelihoods that will be lost in the coming storm.
And without God's favor, we can no longer be sure of the outcome.
Probably, but banking on the non-campaigning Fred and Duncan and Mitt was a huge mistake. People should have seen the gem that Huckabee was after his Iowa victory instead of nit-picking his policies over immigration minutiae and vouchers.
