>>The corpse finally realizes it’s dead.<<

I was not a Huckabee supporter.

But I don’t understand pulling out now.

Sometimes things happen to the front runner - they do something stupid or something comes out about them.

And when that happens the guy who is #2 in delegates an #1 in money would usually be the nominee. If nothing else he could be a force at the convention.

Typo
>>I was not a Huckabee supporter.<<

Should have read
I was not a Romney supporter.

I imagine Romney realizes that with McCain and Huckabee playing footsie (i.e. WV tactics) he doesn’t have a chance. He’s splitting conservatives votes with Huck and in the upcoming states, many of the primaries are open, so that means McCain benefits, so what’s the point of continuing if there’s no way to win.

“But I don’t understand pulling out now.”

I do. He crunched the numbers, and the chance of him winning were very slim.

He was spending millions.

I think his reasoning was sound, and I wish him the best in his future political career.
