Help me Huckabee, your my only hope! (Romney's out)

That was said in my best Princess Leia voice. Ironically, I'm also wearing the outfit from the Jabba barge, but that's a different post for a different time.

Well, with Romney out, the pseudo-conservative/moderate Huckabee is the only hope against the super liberal McCain. Even if Romney's votes went to the Huckster, he is still about three hundred delegates shy.

Sounds like Romney saved his best speeh for his last!

No joke. He bowed out gracefully, that's for sure.

Very interesting. Here's the question. Is Huckabee confident enough that McCain will pick him as VP or will he continue on, hoping to gain enough delegates to put more pressure on him to be picked as the VP nom?

I look for McCain to go after Huck now that Romney is gone...He only needed him to pull votes away from Romney...I don't think he'll be his choice for VP.

From what they are saying in several articles, Romney is wanting it to end so they can focus on beating the Democrats. That doesn't sound to me like his delegates will be going to the Huckster. Therefore, it's in the bag for McCain. Well, there goes the neighborhood. :cry:

Can't say we didn't see it coming though, honestly.

Just vote for Obama like the rest of us. Silly.

It's what some of us have been saying was going on all along. The Huckster Peroted the conservatives and now we have to play the game show Who Do You Elect. Watch as conservatives have to choose between a liberal on the democratic ticket or a liberal on the republican ticket.

Tell them what they've lost Don Pardo (sp?)

Well they've lost the chance to cut spending.
They've also lost any chance of our federal government doing the right thing on ILLEGAL immigration.

They also will get to enjoy overspending, pork filled bills at their own expense.

And last, but definitely not least, they have get to embrace socialism. Yes, socialism. Communism lite. Yes, they will be taxed into oblivion for more government funded things such as health care and retirement.

McCain doesn't need Huckabee anymore to draw votes off of Romney. So, if he holds true to his normal practices, he'll stab Huckabee in the back and throw him under the bus.

I bet centrist is really loving this also. You know he's lurking..

The Maverick is now going to have to lead instead of going his own direction. I'm going to enjoy watching this positioning.. as it unfolds.

The only solution is to have a draft Newt movement at the convention. Money would rain on him.
