“yet a way to prevent a first ballot McCain victory — especially if he gets really weird on us again and begins to embarrass even his own delegates.”
You speak of slandering Huckabee by people discussing his record and yet you speak like this? (and the one upthread where you spoke of McCain losing his mind or some such thing before the convention). That is slander.
Hardly. It is the discussion of contingencies -- a good practice in politics and business.
