As I’ve said all along, the Country needs Duncan Hunter. It has only become more obvious with each passing day.

open RINO like McCain that all conservatives know is a RINO than one like Romney, who is pretending to be a conservative

I guess that is why McLame has been telling us over and over and over and over and over how he is a Reagan conservative.

I see. This has been positively surreal. After listening to Christian Conservatives bitch for decades about the Republican Establishments bigotry towards them, to watch them turn right around and express the same bigotry towards their only viable candidate simply because of his religious views.

We fear Romney may betray us. But he at least is campaigning on the Reagan legacy. We know McCain/Huckabee will betray us. Both of them are currently campaign on betraying at least some Conservative principals.

Or do you believe Mr $ 50. a gallon gas tax hike McCain or Mr Nation wide smoking ban endorsed by the teachers union Huckabee are going to magically morph into Conservatives if they get elected?

Name for me 3 politicians who won and election and moved to the right in the last 70 years? Both your guys start father Left then Romny does. Actually believe they are going to move any way back towards you if elected?

And, he ought to mention his other advisor, the former MEXICAN ADVISOR to Vincente Fox, who is a dual citizen.

There is not one R in my info-dump group that will cast a vote for McCain....but the 3 dems in that group would ,over Hillary.

Funny, conservatives saying they'll vote Hillary over McCain to make a point, dems saying they'll vote mccain to spite Hill. Looks like it'll break out even in the end. Funny.

Get over it.

Mitt is the only candidate that can keep the GOP as a party where the conservative voice matters.

I am hoping there is a conservative revolt and third party.

So are the democRats. That is the only way the Clintons got elected in '92 and '96, when most voters voted against them.

Mitt has had a year to “get going” and has proven over and over again to be a colossal dud as a national candidate. Unless something serious healthwise happens to McCain, he’s the nominee.

It’s a real long shot, but not 100% impossible. It’ll be interesting to see what Romney does at CPAC tomorrow and afterwards.

My Guess:

Louisiana goes Huckabee, continuing Mikes domination of the South. (I grew up there)
Kansas goes McCain, based on Missouri.
And Washington I’m guessing will go for the Romney.

Romney cut taxes; Huckster raised taxes 21 times, a net tax and spend increase.

Wrong, Romney RAISED fees/taxes more per year than Huckabee and Huckabee cut taxes FAR more than Romney did.

Huckabee extensively cut taxes are reformed the tax code in Arkansas. He:

* Pushed through a Democrat legislature the first, major broad based tax cuts in the state's history.

* Pushed through a Democrat legislature an $80 million tax cut package.

* Cut the state's capital gains tax by 25%.

* Established a Property Taxpayers' Bill of Rights

* Limited the increase in property taxes to 10% a year for individuals and 5% per taxing unit

* Eliminated the income tax for families below the poverty line.

* Increased the standard deductions.

* Eliminated the marriage penalty.

* Eliminated bracket creep by indexing the income taxes to inflation, thereby preventing taxpayers from moving into a higher bracket when their paychecks increase due to inflations.

* Doubled the child care tax credit.

* Eliminated capital gains tax on the sale of a home.

Further, Huckabee left his state with surplus while Massachusetts is drowining in debt because of Willard's socialized health care plan:

Massachusetts Healthcare Plan Costs Skyrocket

By Monisha Bansal

January 25, 2008

(CNSNews.com) - According to recent reports, the cost of Massachusetts' health insurance mandate will rise 85 percent, or $400 million, in 2009. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R), meanwhile, has been on the presidential campaign trail praising the program he put into place.

I have to say that THAT is an idea whose time may come. When Huck was surprising everyone last night, I couldn’t help think how ironic it would be, if good ol’ Huck decided that maybe he didn’t NEED to be mccain’s errand boy anymore ; }

Two problems with your scenario:

McCain has more delegates than Mitt and Huck combined.

Mitt cannot command his delegates to vote for Huck.
