BW, I think if Huckster had NOT meddled, Romney would have won the nomination in 2008.

Correct.

Which means Romney would already have been nominated, and would have lost and would now be out of our hair and Dole II (McCain) would have aged out.

You may be right. Although I do NOT THINK it was necessarily “baked in the cake” that Hussein was going to win in 2008.

If McInsane had FOUGHT back, or if Romney as the nominee had FOUGHT, then we may not have had the stimulus, Hussein’s DeathCare, and encroaching banking regulation.

Congratulations on being one of the few freepers with the sense to figure that out. The Establishment GOP sticks together an honors the run system.

Most of the Establishment GOP will be just as happy with Gingrich and might consider him even less of a risk than Mitt since he has more schooling in the ways of Washington.
