Once Mccain gets enough delegates to put him over the top, I expect Romney will do the same. In the mean time, Romney's suspension means that if something happened to McCain (blow up, fopah, sickness, heart attack, stroke, etc.) Romney could step right back into it, retaining the delegates he has.
Despite the serious issues with McCain...and they are serious (like immigration, global warming, etc., etc.)...and despite his temperment and disdain for conservatives, and despite many of us having such great disgust for him over these issues... McCain would continue aggressively prosecuting actual military opeations in the war, he would hold the ground on abortions of fetuses in the womb, and he would be much better for the SCOTUS than either of the democrats. So the GOP leadership and candidates will rally around him because in those later areas, the democrats would be far worse.

That may be so, but I cannot vote for McStain after he stacked the audience for his speech at CPAC.
I was an early and active supporter of He Who Must Not Be Named Around Here. I grew up in New York, lived there in the worst of times, and was always going to be for the guy who fixed it.
No matter - he wasn't up to it, and fell of his own weight. Too bad.
But during the purges, and afterwards, it seemed that the BIG ISSUE, the deal-breaker for FReepers, was abortion.
That's reasonable - my guy was deeply confused and unable to lead on that issue.
My question is, why doesn't McCain's consistent pro-life talk and walk buy him an ounce of cred around here? If the issue is big enough to sink a candidate, why isn't it big enough to catch McCain a break?
