Gee, It's Good to be Together Again
Posted by: Mary Katharine Ham at 2:30 PM
You think Mac and Mitt missed each other?

Allah's guessing they'll be side-by-side in Massachusetts today. How cute.



What possible argument can Huck make for staying in if Mitt's delegates go to McCain?

I agree a very commercial holiday, but I think you are off the mark with the Huckadude! If you've not met him it would be easy to believe all the detractors. I was an early Romnian myself.

your level of desperation is just laughable now. do you not get paid if you don't meet some kind of quota.

NEVER trust a man who says TRUST ME. a trustworth man never has to say such a thing.

The only way Huckabee loses is

if conservatives vote for Liberal John McCain. There is an alternative and any true conservative would break their butts to exercise the only political power they have left in the Republican Party and that is to stop Liberal John McCain. This thing is not over until McCain has 1191 on his own.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liberal and wants you to believe it is over so they can make McCain the nominee.

Liberal John can be stopped.

Liberal John must be stopped.

Liberal John WILL be stopped.

Get out and vote in the remaining primaries conservatives. This is your last chance to flex your political muscle. Let the left branch of the Republican Party know who is in charge.

Trust me, the liberal and leftist Republicans will unite behind the conservative candidate because they love the perks of power sooo much!!!

You people that bag on Romney...
are clueless. McCain is not my favorite, but he is the card we have to play. Huckabee never had a shot and sure as hell doesn't have one now.
Lets think SUPREME COURT JUSTICE appointments. McCain will be better than Obama!!!
We can talk all day about delegates being released etc... Huck is going to lose. Period. The longer he stays, the more he pisses off the conservatives, like me, that are waking up to reality. He is a divisive character.
McCain sucks on amnesty. Pure and simple. Obama is worse. Make your choice. Name the issue and I guarantee, Obama is worse.

We all don't get our way and throwing food from your highchair doesn't help, Synthesizer.

O.K. for Viri Christi
Happy unimaginative, consumerist-oriented, and entirley arbitrary, manipulative and shallow intrepretation of romance day!

Romney + McCain = Huckabee political death blow.

"My guess" is that "I think" that it will be reported that Huckabee extends his vacation in the Cayman islands and it will because a music gig came up.

Viri Christi writes: Thursday, February, 14, 2008 5:32 PM
no valentines gift today?
Hmm " My guess..." "I think..." "It was reported..." could you be a liberal in disguise?
Viri Christi writes: Thursday, February, 14, 2008 5:20 PM
Reine
So if the following are moderate positions I hate to learn what you think is liberal:

McCain-Feingold
McCain-Kennedy
McCain-Lieberman
Voted against bush Tax Cuts (twice)
Gang of 14
Considered leaving Republican Party

Do I need say more?

Why Huckabee is staying in the race
The reality is that Mike Huckabee is in third place and is still losing to a man that dropped out of the race 6 states ago. From the most current numbers on CNN, Huckabee trails Mitt Romney by about 70 delegates and by 1.4 million voters.

My guess is that Mike Huckabee was trying to reach Mitt Romney’s numbers, so he can say he beat Mitt in the GOP primaries. Huckabee will then be able to use that as promo for his VP spot or his 2012 presidential run or appease his Romney dislike or all of the above.

Plus, I think Huckabee has an irrational, emotional dislike of Mitt Romney. It was displayed numerous times throughout the campaign. Most noticeably at the now infamous Huckabee press conference where the non-airing airing attack ad against Mitt was publicized. It was reported that Mike Huckabee was so enraged and belittled by Romney’s Iowa attack ads that it drove him to that action. Or there is the revealing self satisfied smirk/smile Huckabee gives McCain at the ABC New Hampshire debate right after he makes a snarky remark about Mitt changing his positions.

Those are just a couple examples but the Dr. Phil’s of the world will find a treasure trove of behavior displayed by Huckabee to make for a very interesting case study of envy.

The second argument for Huckabee staying in the race is that it’s good for his business as a public speaker & his band which are entities that are all about him. It’s in his character to stay in for that reason alone.

All his platitudes about speaking up for those without a voice is all about what Huck does best....play the victim. Vote for me because I'm not rich or most popular or whatever the wedge issue is of the moment.

My guess after Huckabee gets out of this race is that he will be offered a talk radio show. Watch out Rush and Sean, he's coming after your votes next!! ;)

McCain
I'm sick & tired of hearing how McCain is so liberal, which he isn't. He has a conservative record & yes, he is a moderate on certain issues but that's what Independents like about him. For those who don't want to vote for him, don't. I hope he doesn't go too far right because alot of us would be disappointed.
Viri Christi writes: Thursday, February, 14, 2008 4:45 PM
Clueless
I can't believe the inane commentary. So goes the short list of "conservative messiahs" that have completely gone against their principled beliefs to endorse one of the most liberal Repubican Senators in the last eight years all under the ruse of the "good of the country".

How easy it is for conservatives to be duped!
eddie writes: Thursday, February, 14, 2008 4:36 PM
Romney delegates are free

to oppose McPain at the convention and support anyone they want.
fuzzy writes: Thursday, February, 14, 2008 4:20 PM
We can only hope for
a broker convention cause I WILL NOT! vote for mccain NEVER!
3rd party, write in, none of the above but NEVER mccain.
eddie writes: Thursday, February, 14, 2008 3:51 PM
Romney cannot

bind his delegates. Until McPain can earn 1191 on his own, there is no reason for Huck to give up.

Romney's endorsement has solidly cemented his credentials with the Republcian left. It has also disclosed that he is a wannabe conservative. He will not fool conservatives the next time around.

Apparently Romney's agenda is a liberal one just like McCain's.
PC writes: Thursday, February, 14, 2008 3:27 PM
austinnelly
Exactly right.

I'm all for anything that puts the lights out on Huck's political future. He stinks to high heaven, and apparently, does not possess the ability to be embarrassed.
austinnelly writes: Thursday, February, 14, 2008 3:02 PM
best theory I've heard
Mark Levin seems to think Huck is staying in because he doesn't trust McCain not to screw him on the Vice Presidency so he's trying to squeeze him by staying in longer. Sounds about right for those two slimebags.
Synthesizer writes: Thursday, February, 14, 2008 2:52 PM
% Romney delegates that'd vote McCain?
"if Mitt's delegates go to McCain"

What percent of Romney delegates would vote for McCain at a Republican nominating convention?
PC writes: Thursday, February, 14, 2008 2:45 PM
This is rich
Huck didn't quite get that his "miracles not math" fantasy was over last Thurs. when Romney dropped out. How kind of Romney to help him see the light a little better today.

The truth is that Romney still has major disagreements with McCain, but knows the WOT trumped his own campaign. Too bad Huck felt he was more important than the best interest of the country.

Happy Valentines Day HUCK!! tehee.
Mitt shows a little love to Huckabee by showing him the charade is over. Maybe Mitt sent Huck roses too? Yellow, of course.
