Romney Quits Presidential Race

Romney quit. Guess its McCain for the Republicans.

This actually helps Obama. In open primary states like Virginia, you choose what party when you show up. So now the moderate republicans and independents will vote in the democratic party primary, and they will most likely vote for Obama.

Wasn't Romney drawing from the 'true conservative' vote?

Are you saying the independents / moderates who would have voted for McCain will now consider that race to be in the bag and vote for Obama instead?

Hey i just heard that
 

Hey, i'm cindy. i just heard that he quit. I think your right.With Mccaine for the republicans, it should be a shoe in for the democrats. Mcc:D ain bores me to tears. I kinda like Obama, but i think Hilary is probably going to be the next president.cindy

Exactly. No need to vote for McCain, so pick up the democratic ballot instead and vote for Obama.

I'm thinking I should have put this in Politics, not Current Events.

What if no one in the country votes for McCain, then?

HUCKABEE?

I'm sure enough Republicans will still vote for McCain. Most states have closed primaries, so Republicans can only vote in Republican primaries. Its only in states like Virginia, the 'Come All' primaries in which you decide when you show up which primary you'll vote in.

In theory, Romney could give his delegates to Huckabee, closing the gap between him and McCain.

Bay Buchanen, Romney's henchwoman, has repeatedly called Huckabee McCains "nasty little sidekick", claiming he has a deal with McCain to be VP, he just had to stay in the race and draw votes away from Romney. lol I saw her say this on SuperTuesday. Man, she's a vicious woman. I have no idea why Romney would pick her as a spokeswoman.

Huckabee?
 

He doesnt really bother me. He's pleasant enough. What we do need is someone with a BRAIN! I dont care who it is ,as long as they have a brain. cindy

Paul?

We can at least be sure PA won't have a say in the outcome.

It's after Super Bowl. Events currently happening are no longer irrelevant political speculation. Those so many leading candidates are gone. Real contenders have finally risen to the top.

Robert Kennedy was also a vicious man. Being vicious is not necessary bad. Directing that force defines the man.

Bay is not a spokesman. She is a political analysis - the people who define and execute political strategy. To get poltical correct answers, campaigns employee spokesman to spin facts. An interview with Bay would be insightful because it defines what is really intended and targeted by the candidate without the propaganda spin. Irrelevant is her viciousness. Only important are the strategies and objectives (and whether she is really being honest).

I still wonder why conservatives ain't fawning over Huckabee over the track-switching Romney.

My mistake, I guess they are now fawning over the Huck. Although the Rep race is all but over, nobody told the voters, especially the conservative ones.

It would be an interesting race between The Huckabuck and The Obama. Enough of the stale names.

Calling Huckabee McCains "vicious/ambitious little sidekick" is not much of a political analyst. And its ripe with spin.

I know you weren't referring to Patti Solis Doyle, but the same holds true and it cost her, her job.

After losing all of the weekend's caucuses and primaries, Hillary Rodham Clinton announces that a longtime trusted aide will take the place of Patti Solis Doyle in running her campaign.

A long time trusted aide, heh.

I thought Romney's concession speech one of the most statesmanlike I've heard in this election yet. The Republicans seem to have a lock on the classy behavior so far. The Democrats, not so well.

The current issue of American Spectator analyzes Hillary Clinton's cattle-futures trading coups way back when down to a gnat's-pubic-hair resolution, and connects the dots for probable cause for a corruption indictment. Thorough, and some impressive investigative journalism.

From The Economist of 16 Feb 2008: The reason I find readers of the Daily News (tabloids) with so little grasp of current events: they fail to read and grasp significance in details. No details, for example, are why so many believed Saddam had WMDs. Details are massively significant.

BS that Hillary didn't know she was running outta money. A total control freak like her knows where every friggin penny is/was/went. Thats just convenient spin. IMO

Thats VERY interesting - I wonder why? hmmmmm

Obama supporters are thieves and vandals? ;)
